The neighbors appear to be a mixed bag of tools as well. I’m not sure that there’s a “good guy” side in this.
And for clarification, the neighborhood is “zoned” for churches.
The neighbors may be a group of jerks too. I don’t know; but I do know that having to fight neighbhood congestion every week (or multiple times a week) at the same home, since 1996, would get old.
Someone having a backyard wedding, or family reunion? No problem, have a blast. That’s a one time event, not a weekly one. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to live next to this person. You can chose your friends, you can chose your enemies - but you can’t chose your neighbors. This man has opted to irritate 60+ neighbors, and they have all agreed to sign a petition against him.
Can you get 60+ of your neighbors to agree on anything? I think we have consensus on up, down and the color of the sky; but that’s about it.
