They moved in on May 1st. They've mowed their yard twice this month. Huge clumps of dead clippings all over the yard, blown into the street, the sidewalk, my yard. The yard beside their garage is covered with trash; empty kitty litter containers, cardboard boxes, etc. They cut down a tree in their back yard 3 weeks ago; They've just left it laying beside their house, half in my yard, against and on our fence. I can't mow my side yard. They told me they can't find anyone to haul it away. They own a large pickup, but it's more of a show truck, it never actually gets used as a truck. We contacted the city; they stuck a notice on their door giving them 30 days to clean it up. So then... Last weekend, a large rear axel showed up in their front yard. Springs and all. It just... sits there. Yesterday 2 tow trucks showed up and left a junk car and a junk pickup in their yard. The car still has soap writing on the window from the salvage yard. I can't wait to see what this weekend will bring.

The overhanging tree is annoying. Other than that, I wouldn’t care about a neighbour with junk in their yard.

I would rather have a neighbour like that than live in a HOA with one of those neurotic jerks who have too much time on their hands. There are usually by‐laws covering the extreme stuff (like the tree).

Not a fan of hoa bullshit at all. The city has ordinances, but it's really not even that. It's just that the whole neighborhood up and down the street is tidy, neat, whatever the right word is. We don't blow grass clippings into the street, we keep the sidewalk clean, we trim our trees so they don't block the sidewalk, we only put our trash by the curb on trash day, etc. We like our town to look nice. It's just upsetting to see an otherwise nice neighborhood with an eyesore in the middle of it, and neighbors who don't care to at least try a little. I think it is people like them that made HOAs become a thing in the first place.
