The Crazy Lady Next Door & Other Tales Of Woe

By Colin J. Maxwell


Unlike communities' centuries ago, our neighbors nowadays are less likely to be family and often connections are difficult to establish. People seem reclusive and are not part of a local ecosystem. Their concerns seem to center around lives of the rich or famous or American Icon rather than anyone or any person in their direct vicinity. Neighborhoods today could be made up of people with different cultural and economic backgrounds. Therefore, you can be surprised how a simple gesture and behavior could lead to a huge misunderstanding following an acute disagreement.

Community consists of individuals with unique kind and personality. Conflicts are unavoidable. Generally, even neighboring countries got their own issues with one another that oftentimes yield to disagreements. That sounds like a catastrophe in the making but if you choose to stay where you are right now, you might impede any and all possible conflicts what so ever. If you want an idea of how far events can snowball just look at the middle east through a website such as Al Jazeera or Micheal Savage via online streaming radio.

In some cases, some people are simply hard to deal with. Either they have exaggerated their own rights and justifications or they are just simply strange. So, staying away is just the best you can do. These types of neighbors are best to be ignored and disregarded. Aside from personal differences, property lines or boundaries seem to pose a never ending issue between neighbors. The main question is, where exactly should it lie?

In case you had purchased a house with a hideous fence which unfortunately a shared one, it's a good idea to take things slowly and cautiously. As a new resident in the neighborhood, you can't just make a scene and demolish the fence whenever you want to. Since your intentions are good, you can politely introduce yourself to your new neighbors. Talk with them and let them know that you are thinking about replacing the fence and ask them whether they are interested in doing it as a joint venture.

Conflicts could be avoided when we set aside our assumptions and try to talk to involve parties. Think about how communication improves our relationship with our own loved ones, it can surely be applied with our neighbors too. It's worth trying than based our thoughts with our morbid assumptions.
