Why can't we just be nice to each other?

[Every Road Leads Home]

I've learned there is really no accounting for the behaviors/actions of others. Best you can do is be a good person yourself and not let these other people's actions jade you. After all, most the world is actually good honest kind people. But there is always a few bad apples in a bunch. Few cops to give all cops a bad name, few contractors that give all contractors a bad name, few mechanics that give all mechanics a bad name, few politicians that give.....wait a minute that group is all sour apples. But you get the idea.

Live your life the way you want to live it and take the few people that can't accept it for what it's worth, and their opinions aren't worth much

If it was me, I would go and piss on his Jeep, not on the tires, like on the drivers seat.

Sometimes these kind of people make their way into local government, and then you read news stories about people ticketed for not mowing their lawn, or feeding the homeless, or living in a travel trailer. You are fortunate in that your city is somewhat more open-minded than many others.

Maybe you would be better off just ignoring them????
My first thought was to mess with 'em a little but it all could go south fast with someone unstable.
Maybe have a neighborhood BBQ and invite them too ?
Kinda messing-ish and might turn 'em around on the complaints too...

Yeap, I don't fight any more. Karma......

Do wrong onto others, seven fold will come upon you.

I think disturbed people are young spirits and we old spirits need to step back and let them learn.

Yes, I'm crazy....

Well,since we are only hearing one side of the story and the unanimous opinion seems to be the guy is an asshole,I'll play devils advocate and offer some possible reasons for the guy's actions.Maybe he realizes people living in automobiles in his neighborhood will impact his property values negatively.Maybe he is afraid this is just the start and soon many who live on the fringes and don't contribute to society will be moving in.Maybe he is upset that he has to pay property taxes to live there and someone living in an automobile doesn't.Just some things that might be in the man's mind that make him an asshole.

Good points.

Since the guy obviously does not like people sleeping in vehicles he very possibly was negligent in his due diligence when he chose to settle in a town that does not outlaw vehicle dwelling.  He is free to relocate to a town that does not allow vehicle dwelling.  There are plenty to choose from.

The best revenge is living well.  

You have been vetted by the local government.  He did you a favor.

Some people just live their lives taking poops on others. I ignore them.

Not all of the trolls are online.

When I was a teenager, there was someone in the neighborhood like that. He complained about EVERYTHING! We had a black cat at the time, and he would come over and complain that it was peeing on his bushes. He complained when my father tipped his (anchored on a hinge at the base) ham radio tower down to do something on it for 15 minutes, and and it wasn't even off the property. He complained about the neighbors parking in front of their own house, and bringing in a dump truck load of soil to build a berm to hide the bar on the other side of their fence. He complained about another neighbor's dog barking... even after the dog was put down due to old age.

And then...... you're gonna love this! ....... He was caught burglarizing someone's house, and when the cops searched his house, it was CRAMMED with stolen goods.

Your neighbor could be lonely and wants to talk to someone. He could be whacko. He could just be getting his kicks out of it, like online trolls. OR, he could be hiding something that he doesn't want anyone to know and thinks if he directs the law's attention elsewhere, they might not look at him too closely.

Well if that is his mindset then its a terrible mindset.

He has lived here for 2 years after he married the woman living there that has lived there for 3 years.

My mother has been living in this house for over 40 years, is friends with everyone in down, could get along with the devil. I unfortunatly have been living here on and off for 29 years. 

I also have been paying this towns taxes since I was 17, am now 29. Have worked a great job for many years. 

Not to mention it couldn't possibly make his property value go down. He has two jeeps and a car, all not very new vehicles. His neighbor on one side has a 22ft travel trailer that is probably 15 years old. And here I am, with a 2000 van in great condition, looking like just a van parked on the side of the house, Not hurting anything.

But I would love to hear his side, because I can't figure out what would cause a human to act such a way towards people who are doing no harm

So we encountered our first bit of "discrimination" if you will.

Now from the neighbor we think it is, they are about 50-70 yards across the street, so even if we had been smoking weed which we haven't, theres no way they could have smelled it. As far as using the bathroom outside, sometimes I might go in the back yard and go number 1, where No one can see me. And the tent, well there's no law about having a tent in your yard.

The woman from the city assured told him that we have broken no laws, there are no zoning laws against sleeping in a van. She said they mayor also told him the same. She said she talked to the health department and told them there is absolutely nothing wrong going on at all.

If you CAN find out who it is, send them a card saying "Thanks for watching EVERYTHING we do. Nice to see that if someone STEALS something, you'll report it!

Many blessing on you!!
