the house directly across the street from us has many rentals inside and behind the property, so there are often many people hanging out on and around the porch, especially in the summer. usually this is not a problem. however, in the last year, things have gotten really annoying over there. new people moved in and every morning we wake up to a messy, garbage filled street. they also, since we live on a one-way street, park in front of our house (right outside the livingroom) and play car stereos at full blast. we often can not hear our tv over the noise.

the neighbors have started to get cranky about this (even our next door neighbor is annoyed!) and someone even called the police last night.

today the landlord of the property, who is a very nice guy but does not live in the house, stopped by and hung a few signs:

let’s take a closer look at those signs:

i have no idea if this will change anything, but at least we know for sure that the landlord is well aware of what is going on. hooray!
