[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar issue as to PP re kids assuming right to play in our yard. A few friendly but direct conversations were held about the fact that our yard was not community property. Neighbors held a large, loud party. Party spilled into our yard with games being played that were tearing up our grass and then rocks being thrown into our yard. Things escalated leading to a physical assault. Cops were called and neighbor was arrested. Went to court and the neighbor was convicted of assault. We became the pariahs. [/quote] this! THIS is the sort of "things that come with buying a house/choosing a neighborhood" that I never could have foreseen until I watched my own neighborhood social fabric rip apart. I wish I had known to treat neighbor interactions like HR at the office. [/quote]\ The difficult part is that one has no way of knowing about irrational hang ups and mental health situations (rumination and much, much worse) of those who reside in the neighborhood before you - until it's too late. You pay all this money, you move into a place, and you expect a fresh start - but if things have happened there before you, over which you have zero knowledge (until it is too late) or control, it can be very, very unfortunate.
