Does my neighborhood howl? Ah, let me count the ways ...
Neighbors just east enjoy riding their ATVs in circles nearly 24/7. Throw trash out the front door. Let their dogs roam. Their back yard (next to my house) includes trash, wrecked SUV, wrecked motorboat, wrecked boat trailer, a collapsed "garage" he tried to build out of junked wooden palettes. Children (6, 6, and 8) have trashed my property, damaged my cars, etc.
Neighbors just west set off fireworks at random hours, race their car engines to max rpms, usually after 10pm. Also test max volume of their loudspeakers with punk rock.
Neighbors across the road spend their evenings and weekends jacking up pickups, adding massive oversize wheels, removing mufflers, and modifying engines so they spew black smoke and flames from the tailpipes. Also specialize in replacing stock horns with "Dukes of Hazard" klaxons that play Dixie. And of course display the "Confederate Battle Flag" on their cars and garage. You can guess what political sign they've got in the front yard, next to riding mower they wrecked while racing it.
Road in front of my house is now almost a 24/7 motorcycle gang raceway. Drove me and my 1953 MG off the road and into a ditch last October. I am not happy.
Saw state police helicopters flying over neighborhood a few weeks ago. Idiots across the road posted "Cheap weed for sale, noon to midnight" on their Facebook page. Lines of cars up and down the road, slowly circling through the sellers' driveways.
Yeah, the neighborhood howls. Wish I could afford to move. Wasn't like this 30 years ago.
Can you say "sinking fast"?
Help.
