I just don't understand why we're all so afraid to make noise about the small grift. I have a neighbor who consistently causes environmental issues and is constantly complaining whenever anyone in the neighborhood actually... Lives. Parties in our backyards get the cops called, and I'm not talking about loud college parties; I'm talking about 50-somethings with wine and cheese. She's the campaign manager for some obnoxious local political entity. Nobody will even talk about it, we're all so cowed. I just don't get why we're afraid to talk about it. Even far away; I guess it's too easy to link back and retaliation is too easy and impactful.
