Hoarders have rights too!

In many places it’s almost impossible to buy without an HOA, unless you have the means to buy a lot of acreage. I know them to be a 2-edged sword. However, anyone who thinks it’s ok that a neighbor keeps hazardous waste, etc. piled up in the backyard adjacent to yours, has no idea how property values work, much less common courtesy.

I guess some people need to live in HOA neighborhoods.🤣

His trash is spilling out into the road, and other people’s property. He has toxic chemicals contaminating the surrounding soil. We’re trying to have a civilization here.

The good ol’ conservative idealism that exclusively benefits the worst in society at the expense of reasonable neighborly standards.

He wouldn’t be blocking their driveway or crapping on their lawn if he was in a hospital bed. Seems like an easy night-time, ski mask fix to me.

how is the trajectory of projectiles in one direction different than the flow toxic chemicals in the opposite direction?

A “mentally ill hoarder?” As opposed to sane, sober hoarder...the good kind

If this had happened in Florida the criminals doing this would have been arrested, tried and jailed by now. We don’t put up with that crap in Florida.

Projectiles won’t end up in the groundwater, for one.

Turn it in to a homeless camp. It is probably cleaner.

I had a neighbor with a hoarding issues. Her car was so laden with newspapers, magazines and old restaurant menus that she broke her axle in the driveway. For some reason, the fire department came to her door and could not open it because of the enormity of the hoard and her family had her committed. It took a few 15 yard dumpsters to just empty the place out. She was unable to keep any more stuff in her house so she started with the car and filled that up pretty quickly. That’s what led to the locals getting involved.

We found out from the new owner that she was sleeping sitting up, eating in her car and taking showers and rinsing her clothes at the gym in the building where she worked.

This is one of the risks you take when you buy a home. Some scumball moves in next door and your 400K house is now worth 200k.

That kind of junk is likely to poison local well water.

Sane HOAs are a good thing. Unfortunately, one can never really tell when a lunatic or lunatic committee will gain power.

“That’s a rather dumb comment. There are laws against that sort of thing.”

That’s the funniest idiotic reply I received.
I hope you realize just how ridiculously out of touch that sounds.

Now, Get off my lawn!
