"They say the neighbor's tobacco smoke settles in their backyard and seeps in through their windows."

Perhaps they can apply for some of that stimulus money to "weatherize" those windows.

If tobacco smoke was as unobtrusive as the smokers maintain, they would not have to go outside to smoke. Smoke in the house, problem solved.

Could be the complainants want force a sale in a depressed market so they can pick up the neighbors house cheap.

Wouldn't be the first time someone in California used the courts to steal.

“Untreated mental illness.”

You are kind. I think they are connivers and liars, but that is me. I wouldn’t be shocked to see a law to ban backyard smoke in their village.

I suppose neighborhood tracts will have to be divided and sold as smoking and nonsmoking units with a greenbelt between the two sections.

From the article:

Because of the smoke, the couple say, they no longer sit on their patio. They also try to sandwich in swims in the side-yard lap pool between their neighbors' smoking sessions.

The smell of clorine from outdoor swimming pools can be quite irritating, if not harmful...just sayin....

When I was a kid, we lived in the apartment above Tosh Togo, the wrestler that played Oddjob in the Bond movie. The smell of his cheap cigar smoke rose up into my bedroom every night. It was disgusting. Nobody cared. I demand reparations!!!

I’d make sure I had a large manure pile in my yard so that they wouldn’t notice the smoke.

If people would stop believing the crapola of your first sentence, the second sentence would not be a problem.

I'm telling you...

Swimming pool? Oh, no,no,no, absolutely no. They obviously emit chlorine in a gas form.

Chlorine gas is a pulmonary irritant with intermediate water solubility that causes acute damage in the upper and lower respiratory tract. Chlorine gas was first used as a chemical weapon at Ypres, France, in 1915. Of the 70,552 American soldiers poisoned with various gases in World War I, 1843 were exposed to chlorine gas.

Swimming pool must go. Wastes FAR too much water that could be used to save minnows. And it emits POISON gas.

It’s for the children,

If we can only save one it’s worth it,

It’s for your safety,

Etc, etc.
