Careful of mixing up cause-and-effect. Plenty of hillbillies would love to live on the beautiful California west coast next to the beach, if they could afford it. Anyway, hillbillies was an obvious stand-in for all sorts of bad neighbors, whether that be the guy with the constantly barking dog, the drunk, the guy always playing his loud subwoofer, etc. >as it doesn't involve me When your neighbors are shouting at each other with you in the middle, it involves you. >why should I be permitted to hate my lawful neighbors? You absolutely shouldn't, for we should all love our neighbors. But you should absolutely be allowed to hate your neighbors' actions. >use the force of law to force them to change Have you ever dealt with invoking city noise ordinances? It's a long, tiresome process, and meanwhile your neighbors you're invoking them against aren't going to be too happy with you. Take it from me, I grew up poor and lived in crappy neighborhoods. Playing outside as a 6-year-old, it was routine for the neighborhood drunk to yell slurs at me and my siblings. First day we moved in, Dad called the cops on that guy, and the cops basically chuckled at my Dad over the phone. "Welcome to Los Angeles, sir."
