A month ago we had a neighbor who cut down a forest of tall beautiful trees just because he did not like the shade. Now we have an opposite problem with one neighbor on the other side. He has not mowed his lawn in almost a month. It has been rainy here in Northern Va and the result is the grass has been growing like crazy. It is spring and the grass always grows fast until around June 30.
Anyway, in our beautiful neighborhood of $600K homes we have a neighbor who refuses to mow his lawn. One of the other neighbors asked him about it and he got an angry response to mind his own business and he will mow when he feels like it.
What should be done? There is a homeowners association but the rules have no teeth.
Maybe he's sick or his back hurts or something else is making him miserable. Or maybe he takes pleasure out of aggravating you. In any case, life is short and you can probably find something more worthwhile to occupy you.
It has not rained in four days and they are home all the time.
If they are home all the time, how does anyone work to make money.
Has it really not occured to you that these people might be struggling in todays economy? Do you care so little for your fellow man to not even consider that maybe they need a helping hand rather then a warning letter or worst a fine from the HOA??
I live in an HOA where there are people who would step on you because you accidently crossed a line. Their whole life is wrapped up on controlling other peoples lives through the HOA rules. I think these people enjoy forcing people to live to their standards and when something happens and the neighbor can't live up, all you can think of is doing something to harm that person like reporting them to the HOA.
Think about extending a helping hand to your neighbor if you can find an ounce of deciency in your heart. Don't live to criticize, enjoy helping people instead.
The OP poses questions about un-communicative, mean, un-loving people on the Relationships forum, about un-communicative children on the Parenting forum. This thread wraps up the picture of her.

I would NEVER move to a house with home owner association. If I bought a $600,000home the last thing I need if for some association to tell me how often I need to mow my lawn.
In your case. What can you do? It is his house.
