Let’s negotiate, one reader suggested. Some declared individual sovereignty. Park your privilege, others said. Or how about no mow weekends?
Some Patch readers want friendly neighbors. Others want them to keep to themselves. Neighbors with in-ground swimming pools are good, too.
From unkempt lawns to “junked car graveyards” to the “actual dirty,” Patch readers talk about what’s annoying them in the neighborhood.
Whatever you do, there’s no need to “get petty and get the whole neighborhood involved,” a Patch reader responded to Block Talk's question.
Some people are serial wavers. Others barely nod and say their neighbors shouldn’t take it personally. Some kids don’t know what to think.
Patch readers discuss: Is it better to say yes and quietly get rid of your neighbor’s castoffs, “normalize saying no” or even give it back?
Readers offer real-world advice on getting along in the neighborhood in Block Talk, a new regular feature on Patch.
