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.

    Chill HOAs for stuff like rusted wrecks on the front lawn, totally understandable. But the HOAs around here have $500-$1,000 a month fees, which seems excessive to say the least.

      Jesus, that’s like a month’s rent in some places. What do you get out of it in return?

        An HOA that I’ve dealt with has 5k monthly dues lul. Tbf these are multimillion dollar homes on a cliff in a rich city. I deal with a lot of hoas at my job and some of them are crazy in both price and rules but like 90 percent of them are worthless.

        No idea, a very mid looking condo, lol. It’s not apparent what the funds are going towards as the condos were small and built in 2007. No parks or other amenities to maintain.
