[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.
[/quote]where do you draw the line? Do you include depression? ADHD? Tourette’s? [/quote]

Also, what's to say the people living next to you aren't fine and then suddenly they have a psychotic break? Or they sell their house to someone who you aren't aware is mentally ill? This is a completely ridiculous and obviously implausible plan, even ignoring the fact that it's absurdly ableist.[/quote]

We seem totally normal and have a 20-year-old kid with schizophenia who has lived here since the age of 3. What do you suggest doing about that?

Also, when they are off their meds it gets pretty bad, but since they turned 18 there is little we can do as parents because they can refuse treatment, refuse to go to the dr, refuse to go to the hospital, etc. The police won't even do anything unless they are literally holding a razor blade to their arm or have actually hurt someone--threatening isn't enough.
