[Porsche-O-Phile]

This is one of my biggest "pros" of semi-rural living. My nearest neighbor is about 300 yards away behind a patch of forest. Before this I lived in an 8-unit apartment building in Long Beach. I had several neighbors during my tenure - most were good but when I left the adjacent unit had gone from two UCLB girls who were very friendly, quiet and studious to three VERY swishy gay guys who liked to sit on he balcony 2' away from my living room window getting drunk nightly, often having boisterous lovers quarrels and I think deliberately making spectacles of themselves. I don't miss having nearby neighbors one teeny little bit.

Drunks as neighbors totally suck. And yes, they tend to smoke a lot too (disgusting plus butts everywhere).
