Look, I'm not burying my head in the sand and claiming that there is no such thing as a public nuisance.

The house behind our development of McMansions (it's not part of our development) is a rented house. 3 years ago they rented it to a bunch of "hip hoppers" for lack of a better term. At 2 AM, I would hear P Diddy blaring from the loudspeakers at 190 decibels, while my kids were trying to sleep. There were taxis dropping people off at all hours of the night. Risking life and limb, I first tried the man to man approach...tell them to their face. I walked over there and told them to cut it out. It stopped for a while. Then inevitably returned. Before I even thought about calling the "authorities" they were gone anyway. Thank God, or so I thought.

A month later 30 Mexicans moved in. Instead of "Public Enemy" on the speakers, it was salsa music. Soccer balls were flying over the fence like Scud missiles. I'm a soccer player myself, so I would intercept them like a Patriot Missile and kick them right back.

What the hell was my point, anyway? Oh yeah...just be very careful what you call a nuisance. It should be reserved for only the most heinous offenses.

Otherwise, something you enjoy will be banned next.

So are the Mexicans and their music still there?
