Title: Happy time in the neighborhood
Post by: sammons on March 17, 2022, 03:20:46 PM
We've been putting up with white trash welfare recipiants across the street on the corner for 3yrs (2 lazy fat gals with 5 kids)  Constant screaming, cussing from kids and all. Too lazy to take trash to dumpter 15yrds from their front door, they set bags out at door and let the wind carry it away. Open car doors and the empty cups, bottles, bags roll out.

Last month a traffic stop led the cops to the house for a search, ending with Social Services called and kids removed for living conditions. Tuesday City evicted them and boarded up the place😁  As they were removing their belongings they thru all kids of crap in my neighbors creek, which will float down to me when it rises😡

Every silver lining has a cloud. At least they are gone. A couple of good rains & a big wind all evidence of them will be gone too.  ;D

Previous owner (10-15yrs), nice guy and kept the place up good
 Two of his boys kept moving back home, so he bought a house in another town and give this one to the boys. Boys didn't pay property tax and it was sold for taxes🥴

Not many knew of the sale 3yrs ago and it sold stupid cheap, $2,800. One of the gals boy friends bought it and let them move into it. Bet he wishes he hadn't! City condemed it! So if he doesn't get it up to code quick it will be demo'd by city.😁 Everybody around here is hopeful of a nice clean empty lot.

Most people don't appreciate or take care of free stuff too well. The problem with welfare as a way of life.

Well after a court battle on the old church/ residence, the City won.  The City contracted a pest control company to fumagate for bugs and rodents. It took 3 times, 2 weeks apart to get everything dead in there. They also had a couple dozen live traps for mouse and critters set up around the outside for any escaping critters. They started the teardown yesterday about 9:30am. By 11am they had a good start, by 4pm looked close. Todays went faster but the had to keep waiting on more dumpsters. They have been thru 10 so far.

I swear, there must have been trash 5 foot deep in there. Just about every bucket was 80% trash to 20% rubble. When those folks moved out they took 6 sets of matresses out of there and loaded on to their trailer. Yesterday i counted another 7 matresses hauled out with the bucket. Unreal nasty people.

I can see the highway now😁

We had some terrible neighbors.  The owner was renting to some refugees and scamming them for their government checks.  The one kid was a huffer.
Keyboard cleaner cans everywhere.
Finally convinced the owner it was time to sell.
Took the new owners about a year to rebuild the house.  The basement walls had to be torn down cause areosal cans where packed full inside.

Now have great neighbors with a awesome front landscaped yard.  I guess I need to up my landscaping game now.

Neighbors? What's that? Are they people who live closer than 4 miles away? We don't have any. The 4 milers live to the south. West maybe 6 miles, East 8 or 9, North 12 or more, not sure I've never seen any. It's still too close!  :o

Never had a bad neighbor yet, and hope they thought the same of me.

Ed, the property will go up for county sale 2 years after property tax goes unpaid. I'm sure he won't pay this years. My neighbor across the street actualy ownes a foot of the east parsonage. They went over the property line when it was built. He will be bidding on it, hope he lives a long time😁

Good neighbors are great to have, (as long as they aren't to close), bad neighbors can really be a nightmare! Other than the neighbor to the east of me, the rest are half a block away.

They got the parsonage basement filled in yesterday and started on filling in the church crawlspace.

Actually we do have a really good neighbor. It is Baselite. They mine a light weight aggregate used in light weight concrete products, blocks, landscaping rock lookalike pavers, tip up walls.........They own  over 1,5000 acres on two wides of us but we can't see their operation from home. Our road crosses their land. They have helped us out many times and even donated gravel for 2 miles of road. I help keep trespassers off of their place and stick up for them when new comers bitch about a mine that has been here longer than anyone living in this area, at least 60 years. They even have involved us in some of their plans if they think it will effect us. We take Christmas treats to the crew every year over 40 now. Good neighbors!

Thats great that you and the company are good neighbors. Drives my crazy that people will knowingly build next too a racetrack, airport, manufacturing plant, etc,  then complain and try to shut them down🥴

When my neighbor was swapping my phone out, we were disscusing the neighbor hood thru the years. He said he had been there 48yrs, I didn't realise I had been here 40yrs last august. Time flys.

It is funny that the playbox sand they sell is known to cause cancer in California. Good thing the wind mostly blows the other way.

Sixball did you see the weather report this morning?
Title: Re: Happy time in the neighborhood

The real weather or the political storm?  ;D We may have a foot of snow by election day. I'm sure it is a form of voter suppression and will be a reason to expand mail in voting. We voted early yesterday. Driving up to Virginia City in the snow can be an adventure. :o
