I wish!
I built a fancy house in a fancy neighborhood, and then a real a-hole bought the house next to me as his retirement home.
- bddgyrdfv 3y agoI feel this. Unfortunately the only surefire way to avoid this situation is to be the bigger asshole.
- chihuahua 3y agoNot the only way. You can do what Bill Gates did, and buy all the surrounding properties. In his case, some of his staff live there.
- gwbas1c 3y agoYup: After my a-hole neighbor yelled at me because he thought I was mowing his lawn, I got the property line surveyed and had him remove all the shrubs he planted on my land.
- brailsafe 3y agoMight be some selection bias happening. It's usually not the fancy neighborhoods that get a reputation for being humble and down to earth.
- gwbas1c 3y agoA-hole neighbors have nothing to do with income level. I've also had a-hole neighbors who were dirt poor. In my case, the advantage is that I don't have to share a wall with my bad neighbor. Edit: I should add that the rest of my neighbors are awesome, Just like every other place I've lived.
