My neighbors to the left are aiming to get off the grid, they heat their home with wood fire, they use electricity sparingly, they collect and reuse rain water and they have extensive gardens. They reuse just about everything, actually. It's quite impressive.

They have a community tool-share, a ladder-share and a free lending library. They do a lot of service trades. They have twice weekly open house pot lucks and are often heard to be raucously singing bawdy songs while someone plays the piano. They often have random people camping in their back garden.

They also own a cooperative business called the "the pedal people" - they collect and transport trash and recycling from homes and businesses to the transfer station and recycling center - on their bicycles (with custom made trailers), utilizing the miles and mile of bike path network we have here.

My neighbor to the right is a retired widower who rides a Harley and volunteers as an usher at the Academy of Music on the weekends.


Give me three of the worst neighbor experiences you've had in the past
