It sounds nuts but I am thinking about moving from Chicago to the Bay area to be near my only child and her family in Mountain View.

Awesome, families should live together.

Say @Chicago_Guy did you ever move to the Bay Area?

If so, want to meet up in Martinez with Onvacation, richwicks, and myself?

This neighbor may be annoying but not code red style. I'd stay diplomatic if you're going to live next to that person, has many advantages (crime watch etc.)

I disagree. A shitty neighbor will continue to be that. I confront. Will 100% of the time.

It's not about being a dick. It's about control. I've done it. I've gotten at 55+ year old neighbor to walk his Harley down the street because he pissed me off. He is/was bigger than me too. I knew his pipes were illegal and I had a decibel meter and recorded it.

Fact is a shitty neighbor is just an angry person looking to piss people off. Outsmart them. It generally is really easy to do. They're simpletons. They think they're invincible.

I'm fortunate to have decent neighbors. Besides the Harley guy. I torched the guy in front of my kids and nephew. Kind of a bad example. Fuck it. When you idle a Harley for 15 minutes at 6am, get fucked. And then start revving it before you leave. Just die already.

And yes, definitely cannot literally touch another persons mailbox. We did get 34 beers in our one friends mailbox. USPS still put the mail in. One of the funnier things I've done. 34 beers and some mail. That chick was probably like what the fuck is going on. Whatever... I'll jam it in. lol.
