Why I hate neighbors
When we bought our house, we were the only ones on the road for a mile either direction. Then one day, the developers came in purchased the wooded land around us and cut the trees down and put up houses.
Suddenly, we have neighbors on 3 sides. One built a berm on our property and planted evergreens on the property line, the next one decided they owned half of our back yard. The third neighbor hired someone to clean up their leaves, all they did was blow them on our property in big piles and took off. I came home today and had huge piles of leaves in my yard parallel with the property line.
Yeah, neighbors are great! NOT! It seems like I drew the biggest assholes in the area.

6. Who owned the land around your house when you bought it?
My mom almost bought a home like yours, it was a cute home with a decent amount of property and no neighbors just wooded land around it. When my mom told me about it I told her she should find out who owns the surrounding property and see if she can buy that as well because eventually someone may develop on it. She asked the seller of the house if he knew who the owner was and the guy said he had no idea. So me and my mom did a little investigation which is not hard and found out the guy who was selling the house also owned the surrounding property. When my mom confronted the guy on it he admitted that he wanted to use the sale of the house for capital to develop the surrounding properties by building houses on them and selling them. This guy was total scum and I am glad my mom did not buy into his scheme because the location with no neighbors was the whole selling point.
JUST IMAGINE! Someone using their own capital to develop something that belongs to them!
You got yours, huh DUmmies? **** you all.
