diffusion system to prevent rutting out either of you. A mutual

I agree. Nothing can create ill will faster than calling the
authorities before discussing the issue with your neighbor. If you let
him know you have a problem due to his actions, perhaps the two of you
can find a solution that satisfies both of you. If not, then you can
call the authorities for help.

I no longer live in a mega-city environment, but I did live in one for
many years. It is amazing how many people in large cities don't even
know their neighbors name, hence the reluctance to discuss a problem.
