We have lived here for over 40 years, there has been a huge increase in birds, dead skunks, dead chip monks as well as a rise in deer droppings. The amount of damage is too much to our property. The flooding of the streets all through out town from the rain is damaging also.

The damage small dead animals wreak on a property

Like how am I meant to clean up after all this *gestures angrily at a two-inch corpse*

I mean, the dead body isn't a problem, but small animals absolutely can wreck the gently caress out of a building in some extremely expensive ways.

A few rentals back we had a squirrel chew through a soffit under the roof and build a nest in some space in the attic. It wasn't my problem so I wasn't privy to what, exactly, the damage was up there but it ended up requiring some pretty expensive roof repairs. I suspect leaking was involved.

My parents sold our home to a couple who then decided to go on mission to Mongolia. We kept up with them casually for a few years via letters, but they eventually disappeared off our radar.

And apparently everyone else's radar, because we found out several years later that they'd abandoned the house, and it had become a haven for squirrels. I don't think the entire property was condemned, but it was uninhabitable without a ton of work.

There is no possible way that this system will work opposite from intended and get people banned for "reverse racism" like on facebook.

They're like this about everything. They want the world to be like it was when they were kids but as soon as anyone actually acts that way they start clutching their pearls

"Why arent people good/friendly neighbors anymore?"
"Somone came to my door to offer to rake my leaves, do you think they're trying to CASE my HOUSE?"

"Kids spend all their time on screens/indoors these days >:/"
"3 teenagers walked by my house with a dog today, has anyone else seen this suspicious behavior???"

"All these lazy kids dont want to work anymore, when I was their age I mowed lawns for cash or walked to every business with my resume"
"2 boys came to my door asking to shovel my walkway for $5, do you think they're planning to murder me for their tiktoks?"

"when i was a kid i would hang out at the MALL with my friends"
"I saw 3 teenagers at the store today, i think they were looking for people to follow out to their cars to rob!"

I honestly had to delete it because people were so loving suspicious and hateful about the poor/people with skin darker than a paper bag. It wasn't even a huge amount of the neighbors but it was enough that I wouldn't be able to stop myself from being a dick to them, and getting kicked off anyway. I also got yelled at once for going under 60 on a 45mph road with lots of turns, loose cows, deer, and Mennonites walking it on foot.

I keep making the mistake of trying to use nextdoor for useful things.

We received a delivery for someone else directly from a store. No name or address and no reciept in the bags.

Left notes with a couple neighbors so hopefully that works out as I don't want to have to call Walmart tomorrow and track down where it's supposed to go especially if they didn't even deliver it to the correct neighborhood.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The intended recipient raised hell with Walmart thirty seconds after getting the email notification that their order has been delivered and then not finding it.
Walmart probably got them another order already.
Sucks for the 1099 contractor delivery driver tho

Your probably right. I usually walk up and down the street looking at porches to get my stuff when this happens, might not be correct street.

I'm not saying anything out there, but a few weeks ago, my neighbor (Neighbor Jeff, who I've talked to in person maybe 3 times, but has my number because I was leaving for a month and was super anxious about my house, so I left him a letter in his mailbox.) [lol find my thread about trying to support a LGBQT couple next to me]

Anywho, called me and he saw a large black dude coming out of my backyard, walking a bike. I don't really have a privacy fence anymore, since a recent storm, but. Told Jeff I didn't own a bike, but I went out there and could see his path through the Ivy. Cue the next 3 weeks or so of neighbors saying this large black dude on a bike was all up in their yards, and looking around their cars and stuff. So, honestly, seemed like a dude with a purpose. I don't think anything happened, as far as I know, but he was at least cutting through yards and getting comfortably close with other people's houses.

Like it seemed about the only time NextDoor may have been useful? To be fair, I never posted it on ND, but it was kind of curious to watch the stories gather, and proliferate. I don't live in a super-great neighborhood either, so it wouldn't really be too hard to believe he was up to no good.

I forget my point about this, but ND can be fun, regardless. I think only my first name shows up, and i added some random SA image to be my avatar.


Also, I wish i had some ding dong ditchers, because my ding donger doesn't work. So they'd have to knock hard, and I'd still probably ignore it.
Plus, I live across from an elderly couple (No idea their names, but I helped them shovel snow and get a van unstuck), who either babysit a lot of their brethren or have a bunch of younger people hang out. There were some nights last year where there were like 9 cars parked up and down the road, and all mostly teens if I had to guess.

I found empty bottles of liquor and empty beer cans in my front yard one morning, and was like pretty pissed. I was going to say something, when I got off work. But by the time I got home, someone had cleaned it all up. So it was a very much 'c'est la vie' moment, and it hasn't happened since.

this is a lot of words about my neighborhood and ND.

Particularly galling as a lot of them are moving in because all the music and art spaces made it a desirable place to live in the first place.

Like the hell, just move to a dead suburb if you want peace and quite, there's no place that doesn't have poo poo loads a bout.
