[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I would never buy half of a duplex. Logistical nightmare. [/quote]

That seems silly. So you would never buy a townhome or rowhouse? Because of a rare isolate incident with a crazy person? Do some research on the neighbors, and 99.99% of the time you will be fine. Don't buy a home adjacent to a house with covered up windows. [/quote]

Also, property owners are in the public record. Before making an offer, Google the people next to you to see if they post paranoid delusions.[/quote]

Anyone with a mental illness should be put on a public watch-list, so home buyers can just google them, and avoid having to live near the mentally ill.

Agree.

I would not want any of those people in my neighborhood.[/quote]

Do you even hear yourself?  We do have something along the lines of basic civil rights left in this country.  While I do agree that dangerous people should not be allowed to hurt others, I am NOT ok with the government creating watch lists of people who their neighbors have decided are a little "weird" so they must be dangerous.  Was this man convicted of any crimes before yesterday?  I bet not.  So what are your grounds for "tracking" him?  Putting crazy stuff on the internet?  Half of DCUM would be on this list.[/quote]

How about harassing federal officials, abusing public resources with frivolous lawsuits, and stalking/making threats against his neighbors. This wasn’t just a quirky homebody.[/quote]

There are a large number of people who do that.  They are almost entirely non-violent.  [/quote]

DP here.  I have a neighbor like that, and everyone "yeses" him, because they know he is unstable, and just looking for a fight. He expects people to kowtow to him, and he very much acts like a dictator.  He is older and has a family, but you would be surprised. Church is important to him. Not sure if he is violent or not, but he owns many guns, and people just stay out of his way.  It's kind of a crappy way to live, God forbid you are on his radar. [/quote]
