Trade you. On one side we have a nut, on the other side a crazy divorced bitsch. Fortunately both across the street are cool as hell.

Any time he speaks to you, stare into the distance, and say, "I am the angel of death. The time of purification is near".

Invite them over to discuss a business proposition. Dress up. Start preaching the avails of Amway and the soap that won a congressional medal...

We only have 1 neighbor that is a registered offender. Lucky me.

Back to your issue: I like the 'let me tell you about Scientology' approach or alternatively tell them you are Jehovah's Witness. That should do the trick...unless they are too and want to strike up a conversation from mutual ground then you are Fuched.

Same here. Sometimes I need practice with my .308 at First Light. 3 rounds spaced 5 minutes apart....

Our nearest is over a quarter mile away and they are a great family so I have no good advice.

You could hang a goat carcass on the fence and wear a jester hat.

More and more cities around the US are moving towards zoning ordinances and other legal restrictions on this problem.

Why everyone is cracking down on Airbnb - Jun. 22, 2016

Miami proposes banning Airbnb in some areas, strict regulations | Miami Herald

A popular beach destination near DC is Rehoboth Beach, Delaware has the same fight. They call the remodeled / enlarged homes "McMansions".

https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/07/14/rehoboth-gone-wild-inside-insane-feud-delaware-beach-town/

Hope those are at least interesting and maybe helpful to your issues. I cringe at this and hope it never becomes an issue in my neighborhood.

We already have one older woman that rents a room in violation of local zoning ordinances. I fear that her 40 yo son that lives at home may want to rent out the other rooms when she dies.

Do you have access to any Dean Martin CDs?

How about inviting the Darth Vader/kilted/flame throwing bagpipe guy on the unicycle over for a visit?

Let's start there with a challenge...

"Build it and they will come."
-Providing cheap local housing will usually improve an area in the long run, because visitors spend 5-100x that amount on other local things(food, transportation, events, gifts).
-It's the basis of all immigrant state economics which violate federal laws.

"Big Corporations vs. The Little Guy/Gal"
-Why shouldn't average citizen have as much right to access revenue as the multinational property next door based overseas?
-Cottage industry has proven itself throughout history.
-Big Corps don't pay as much taxes.

"Stability"
-Income means homeowners don't foreclose on their mortgages. (see-->Detroit)
-Good for bankers/NY banksters which can't handle the rental business and get trillion dollar federal bailouts when they whine behind closed doors.
-Good for local government property tax revenue.
-The local money train stays a rollin' smoothly. Everyone happy. People keep pouring in.
