Should I rat out my loser neighbor to city govt for fines??

[ezmac31]

Dude and his family have been losers for years. As usual, now his grass is knee high. I’m not a boomer expecting the neighbors perfectly manicure their shrubs and lawn but come on. Looking like I live next to a trap house devalues my property (which they should know, the wife is a realtor)

- this has been going on for many years
- in the summer the weeds from the cracks in their driveway grow six feet high
- their dog regularly gets out and bites neighborhood kids (not mine, waiting to kill him if he does)
- this is an old town with 100 year old trees and he never rakes so I end up getting his bs in my yard
- they’re too lazy for garbage day, so they throw their garbage in their garage. It’s too stuffed to close so it leaks out into my yard. Summer smells like dead bodies
- she’s a realtor and he works at GM so it’s not a money issue they’re just trash people. Regular cops at their house over domestic crap.


Is it wrong to report their long ass grass to the city hoping they get fines? I don’t think asking retards to cut their grass is appropriate or pragmatic.

This is a good neighborhood before I get those comments I just live next to idiots. Rentcels investing the difference win again.

It's his yard. Fuk yourself. Oh wait a sec. What's that? His property might also affect your property? Wait...wait...

Hold up. Can we think of an analogous situation? Perhaps involving viruses?

There are bylaws in place for exactly this.

Report his ass.

Contact one of those landscape companies that goes around and does up peoples yards for free just as a friendly gesture to improve the community. I've seen several of them on youtube. I think if I was that freaking lazy that volunteers stopped to clean up my property it might give me some motivation to start taking care of things out of pure embarrassment. So the lady at this house is a realtor? Good grief, I wouldn't hire her for nothing if I knew how she takes care of her own property...

Nah be a man and go knock on their door and be cool about it. Then if they don't get their chit together report them. But at least try to handle it the normal way first.

Have you ever actually seen grass in person to be able to comment?

Fair response. Just don’t think it’s sticks tbh

It's more just so you can say you tried to handle it the normal way first, so they can't say you never asked them. But I guess it's a judgment call if they're total whack jobs.

Just measured, grass it over my knee at its longest point.

I’m 6’1

Don't even waste your time knocking on their door. Just report them if it's been going on for years.

The only tricky part about going to them first is then they know it’s 100% you when the city comes out.
I highly doubt talking to them is going to do anything as well.
