Right, there are a lot of details there. As a timeline, we have last summer, when the Palins rented the place. We have fall, winter, spring, when the Palins were trying to rent the place again for this summer, and we have this summer, when McGinniss moved in. We have details that we can’t place in the timeline. When were the “renovations” made? When did the owner conclude that the Palins weren’t going to pay? What is the story about the renovations? Is any of that true? No matter what it is, it’s a somewhat interesting story that I’d like to hear the details of.

I think you were on the original thread about Sarah’s facebook post and you added important info about the new construction. It is good that Palin has been proactive about these things. Not quite as good that she was unsuccessful.

But my concern here is more with what some freepers were saying about the facts as we knew them at the time. We didn’t know anything then about any attempts Palin might have made to solve the close neighbor potential problem. And Sarah could’ve thrown in a line in her facebook about “We’re disappointed that our neighbor did not rent the house to us, like last year.” Or “we’re building another house, and this neighbor won’t be a problem after we’re moved in”.

With the limited information available on the facebook, it really jumped out at my as something that was missed, and shouldn’t have been. Now that more details are known, I feel a lot better about it. Sometimes you try, and it doesn’t work out quite right. That situation isn’t a bad on Sarah, not like not realizing the potential of the problem.

Again, at this point, the most disturbing thing is that no one but me seemed to think that the potential problem with the neighbors was anything that Palin should ever have to think about. No one said “maybe she did try to rent the house”. Nothing of the sort. The idea that people could use the marketplace - $ - to solve the problem was not considered when I referred to keeping problems away. Everyone assumed I was talking about government action when I made no reference at all to anything of the sort.

Money can be used to control your environment. Palin and I are on the same wavelength, but at least on Tuesday, everyone else was on a different one.
