An Open Letter to the New Neighbors
Greetings New Neighbors! I'm sure there were many of us on our little street here in Anytown who were a little concerned when the sign on the cute yellow house said "for lease only". We like living where people actually live where they own. It tends to make people better neighbors. It appears that you are a group of young men who have leased this cute house. Here are some pointers: In case you hadn't noticed, most people park their cars in their driveways. Yes, we know, they are old fashioned, narrow driveways, and someone is always getting parked in. Too bad. Deal and move your cars. Don't put them in front of other people's houses. Also, you live in a house in a residential neighborhood, not a fraternity house on a college campus. Playing basketball in the driveway at midnight is not acceptable. In fact, your incessant hoop shooting is...well...annoying. Perhaps you might venture across the street to the lovely and well equipped park for a few games now and then. Ditto for the late night whooping and hollering. Houses are very close together. Please be a little respectful. If you're old enough to rent a house, you're old enough to act like grownups. Please do so. Why young men act like overgrown seven year olds is beyond me. In short, take a look at the climate that ALREADY exists on this street, and try to emulate it. Try to follow the example that's already been set, instead of turning this into a "college neighborhood" and lowering the property values for everyone except someone who wants to overinflate rents for mommys and daddys like yours to pay so spoiled babies like you don't have to live in icky old dorms. Thanks ever so.
