Not to mention they mow once a month when the city gets on their case, both trees on their property are dead (and have been for years), the squirrels nest in their soffits, they have a retaining wall that has fallen, when their kids break a window they board it up and a few years back they decided to install two different colored vinyl siding on the front of their house (just the front, not the sides or back).

Believe me when I say that it could be worse. Much worse. Be grateful your neighbors try.

Amen. Sometimes it's good to look at the other side of the coin. I wish neighbors taking care of their homes on a Sunday morning was all that annoyed me about my neighborhood.
