His place is an eye sore, simply because he's lazy. I'm embarrassed
to have company over, cause from my deck, it looks like I live next
door to a dump.


Tall fences make good neighbors, or at least make them tolerable--that
and some screening vegetation.


You aren't going to change this guy's character, he'll be like that
until the day he dies. *Any means you might employ to force him to
clean up the place have the potential to start a neighborhood feud and
those often turn out to be worse than the original cause of
irritation. *Back when I was an apartment dweller I had several
neighbors kicked out for bad behavior, but in that situation the
landlord does the heavy lifting and takes any heat that results, it's
different with a home owner.


If you (and perhaps other neighbors) just can't live with the mess
then maybe it's worth a few hundred bucks to consult a lawyer and find
out if there is anything that can be done that won't cost you a
fortune in legal fees. *Maybe the city can be convinced that
conditions attracting and breeding vermin require action like a
cleanup order your neighbor would find it difficult to ignore.


I'd go with blocking the view of the dump--tall fence, bushy trees
etc. and see if that makes it tolerable. *Anything beyond that is
likely to become its own source of stress.


You town hall can force him to clean it up.


TOWN HALL CANT TOUCH HIM...IT DOESNT AFFECT "THE TOWNSHIP".
THE ENTIRE ISSUE IS LAUGHABLE....WHAT A MORON TO START WITH, IT BUGS
HIM WHEN HE SITS ON HIS BACK PORCH TO BOOZE AND CRACK IT UP WITH HIS
GOONY FRIENDS.
HE IS LUCKY TO EVEN HAVE A NEIGHBOR, HIS USUAL COMPANY IS A CELLMATE.
BOOOWAHAHAHAHA! - IF I WERE HIM, I'D GO TO REHAB & MOVE TO THE COAST
IN A SHORT TIME AFTER COMPLETING THE PROGRAM, WITH THE MONEY SAVED
FROM KICKING HIS COCAINE HABIT.
