I never hear dogs. Myself and several neighbors have them, but none of them bark at each other. Thank you for making me feel better about my neighborhood.
Ehhh I don't think so. I'm friendly with everyone, and they all wave at me. I just wish they'd take some pride in their properties. One guy recently got a brand new roof and mounted a satelite dish about 3 feet above the front door instead of in the back.
We'll probably stick around longterm for the great nearby school. Thanks for the replies, All.

The Flamingo story reminds me of another one. We were on a street that wound around to a cul-de-sac. Nice street, nice people. One fun loving guy with several children lived next door to a couple with one child . That couple liked things quiet and a nice, well kept yard. So the other neighbor with all the children bought a bunch of plastic flamingos and positioned them gathering in his own yard. Daily, he moved a couple just a little toward the more reserved neighbor's yard. Then a little further. Then a few more. It continued. One day the reserved neighbor was mad enough to...well...frown. So the flamingos all walked back to their original yard, all at once this time.
But a few days later they were headed back to the reserved neighbor's grass.
[QUOTE=phonelady61;56934884]I warn everyone here do not give a neighbors dog a sleeping pill or any other kind of pill . Of course you do!
Because if that dog dies you can and will be held liable for the dogs death and it some parts of the country that is jail time .[B]Please just walk around and ask the folks to please keep the dog inside or take the dog on a long walk before they leave for work jeeze .[/quote]
I walked around and talked to them repeatedly, as did the neighbors, and the police. The lady who lived there said that this was her daughter's dog so we would all just have to be "understanding". This went on for 6-8 years and as I mentioned, my next-door neighbors MOVED because of this dog.
Good luck proving who gave the dog a pill if it died. All of the neighbors hoped it would die and verbalized that repeatedly. The "rights" of a nuisance dog do NOT trump the rights of humans to have peace and quiet in their own homes.
I went from a wonderful neighbor I barely knew existed to one I don't like at all.
A retired lady lived in the house next to mine and our properties are very close. However, it never bothered me as she kept her blinds closed where her windows faced my property, and she was very quiet. I really didn't even know when she was home as she parked her car on the other side of her house, and I never heard her.
She moved in with her sister and sold her house to this younger man. Short, fat, ugly looking and blasts his music. Even with his windows and mine closed, I can hear it. Not loudly, but still audible. I heard it last night at 12:30 and was ticked off.
He also doesn't close the window blinds that face my property, so I have no privacy. I feel like he can observe me when I'm in my yard and watch my comings and goings as I use the back door to enter/leave my house. I just hate him so much.

You have heard of outside cameras on houses right ? yeah in this day and age would not be hard to prove anything . all they need is camera surveillance and you are nailed . I would be very careful these days cause you never know who is watching .

You really need to "win" this don't you? Perhaps you are "that neighbor"?
Look all I know is my house and yard will be kept clean. We'll probably have a couple of Sunday get togethers (football and just normal friends) but nothing crazy to **** off the other neighbors. I'm hoping that they are all cool enough that we can invite them over as well.

It's actually code in my city that you can't place it on the front of the house, but I'm not petty enough to report it after the guy put holes in his roof.
We always bought houses on corner lots that allows for privacy and acts as a buffer. We chose this neighborhood because it had a strict no parking rule on the street ( not hoa neighbourhood). We scouted the neighborhood to see how well maintained the houses and yards were, and the condition of the cars parked outside the garages. We’ve lived in lower income and higher income and rarely had problems with neighbors, at least so far
