So our neighbors have been a growing problem for a few months now. They seem to be a flop house for six or seven people, most of them look high all day. They go out and Rev a Harley at 3am, they burn plastic been our houses in a fire pit, they have a new dog every two weeks because they keep getting out and getting hit by traffic in the busy street we live on, the current two have bit people. I’m not one to care how someone lives, but these folks make the rest of our slum neighborhood look downright utopian.

I’ve tried taking to them, they’re stupidly hostile. I’ve put in complaints with the city, noise complaints with the police, they don’t do anything about it. Does anyone have advice on dealing with this? I’m tired, at my wits end, and my small town tactics aren’t as easy to pull off in a proper city.

    Live and let live. Mind your business and move.

    Probably not what you want to hear… But I mean it.

      Getting woken up at 3am is their business. They need sleep to be healthy and work and their neighbors are the ones causing the problem. The viewpoint you’re expressing is very selfish and antisocial.

        That’s the cops job to deal with, Obviously report that, but if it’s something not illegal, you don’t really have an option

      Wow, two in a row. I don’t even have to fully type it out again.

      Its so easy to say, move. The practical reality is often different. Also why the hell should they move if they aren’t being obnoxious but the neighbors are. There’s a certain level of decency that one should have in any setting. Being obnoxiously stupid to the point of doing all the things in OP’s post makes people like that just fucking unacceptable or intolerable to live with. If people want to live like that then they should go live in the fucking wild. The rest of us actually want to live in civilized society.
