1445350	2018-01-24 09:11:00	Or maybe you stayed to long🤭	plod (107)
1445351	2018-01-24 09:31:00	It just seems a bit weird that a solo mum (with several hangers on) has bought the house next door. In our immediate area it is about 99.9% older retired people. But here they are with all the things that come with younger people. Loud, swearing, dogs and noisy cars and rap crap playing loudly on the stereo. Also, there is a couple living in the garage. We share a driveway with four other owners, I have the last house on a rear section. Often I have to get someone to move their vehicle so I can get out. Every other person on the shared right of way is fine and considerate of each other. The new young people are not. I think it’s a bit strange that they would choose to buy in this area? It’s like they’re trying to hide somewhere. Generally it’s a pretty good area...... LL	lakewoodlady (103)

1445353	2018-01-24 18:10:00	Yes, I suppose we should give them some time to settle in and sort themselves out. I have met them and they seem friendly enough, they apologised for the loud music and cars. It appears they were just having a bit of a house warming party after they moved in. The house had been a rental for a number of years before the owner sold it just recently. All the renters were mostly older working people, we all got on very well, and there were no problems.	lakewoodlady (103)
1445354	2018-01-24 18:33:00	We had an issue similar to this at our last place, kids moved in with booming stereos, we approached them and talked to them as if they were our age and they apologised and were fine about it, they had been so used to being treated like kids before that. We actually became quite good friends with them, they were very young and became parents at 18. We helped them with a few things and he ended up bringing us wine from the vineyard he worked at.	gary67 (56)

But as to them being in the wrong area, anyone is allowed to buy in any area they want. Living in a nice quiet neighbourhood might hopefully encourage them to improve, and yeah give them a chance before making a judgement. Fingers crossed they don't end up being neighbours from hell. Personally having lived in poor areas, had a gang house next door, drug dealers, a p lab 2 houses down, you want to know who the worst neighbours generally are? students! The gang house made a point of been very considerate (although it was an obvious act) and the drug dealer was very friendly and caused me no trouble. You still don't want to live next door to these people though. Having students next door though? all night parties regularly, late night random acts of vandalism and stupidity, everyone trying to outdo each other with their subwoofers, a seemingly endless array of friends coming and going all the time, cars all over the street. Not that a solo mum can't be just as bad, just that this behaviour is more common with students.	dugimodo (138)

We share a driveway with four other owners LL LOL! Neighbourhoods change you know. We lived in a young family area once, most stayed, we got older, kids grew up, so it became a middle age area, then a lot of us left. Now it's a older people area for the most part, and I see, with all the crossleasing etc that goes on up here, it's starting to have young families again now. I would NEVER have a shared drive arrangement. We have crosslease but the drive, while legally shared, is fenced off and ours to use alone. Other neighbour has a different entrance to his place. Some young people are nice neighbours, some are not. Are you sure she bought? And it wasn't bought as a rental?	piroska (17583)
1445357	2018-01-24 21:08:00	As far as I know she has bought it, and lives there, but I’m still not sure what others live there. They seem to come and go. I do know that there is someone living in the garage. Hope they don’t freeze to death if they’re still there in the Winter! We’ve been in our place for almost 21 years, it is freehold, being a rear section we share the drive and it’s never been a problem before. As I said, they mostly seem ok now they’ve settled in a bit more. Time will tell, and I think that by pointing out to them politely about sharing access, they seem quite happy to work in ok. Who knows, it might be very handy to have some younger people around sometimes..........	lakewoodlady (103)

Every other person on the shared right of way is fine and considerate of each other. The new young people are not. Its not just young people that do that. Renters in my neighboring house often used MY driveway to park on. It not their drive, they have there own drive. Just because it runs down next to the side of their section they assume its OK to park there. There were several different tenants that did this. Mid age Adults and well as young people. Luckily the current lot dont do this . Honestly, what sort of person just parks on their neighbors drive without asking. :mad: Loud music & noisy, I think thats just the way things are. I used to be the same when I was young , not every night though. And I went to plenty of noisy parties back then . Its only annoying when its someone elses noise. My chainsaw, mower , weedeater & mulcher are very noisy and Im sure neighbors dont want to hear that either (for hours) . Double standards ?	1101 (13337)
