Emotionally vulnerable lonely people perhaps suffering a bit of depression might seek the company of others that will not judge them, will not challenge them, and will not seek to fix them and point out their flaws.

When a person lets a loser (or two) into their life it elevates them because they are more sorted than the loser, and can feel better about their own situational in a relative manner.

Irresponsible losers can be fun to be with, like a pet that accepts you unconditionally.

The losers may not judge you (or this neighbor) because in a straight on contest they know they will fall short, so they do what they can to stay ahead of consequences resulting from their poor decisions.

I am getting into a lot of amateur psychology with this, but in short I think given the short end of the stick the neighbor has been given he needs professional help sorting though the mess. I know that I would.
