The city has to pipe in the water. So there is a big pipe under ground that no one can build over. Looks funny in a developed area because there are houses everywhere except where this pipe lays. It looks like a ski run through a neighborhood. Houses and fenced yards on each side with a 100 foot wide strip of grass between. |

OP, I've posted a helpful video that will get you acclimated to what's coming:
 Harbor Freight Daytona 3 Ton Floor Jack Unboxing 63183 
Good luck. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
OP sounds like the type or person who would buy a house next to an airport, then sue due to the noise. A group of residents went to their State representatives and got them to sponsor a bill before the legislature to change the range's hours of operation to Monday through Friday, 0900-1700-basically when the residents would be at work or school, so nobody had to listen to the noise. They were quickly shot down, though, as those hours effectively prohibited the majority of customers from using the range, which would have ended up costing the State millions of dollars. They were essentially told to pound sand, as the range plans had been in place for years before their subdivision was built and the State wasn't to blame for their realtors not divulging it to them. |

So you want to tell other people what to do on land that is owned by someone else? Should have bought that land if you wanted it to stay empty. 
This fucking place man.... Also, post pics of the playground |

Where i live they build roads over them, pretty dumb to leave large tracts of usable land due to poor planning. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Good grief.
The OP didn't move next to an airport, gun range, asphalt plant, etc, etc, and now wants it closed. He moved next to a empty green belt, was told it would stay a green belt, and now they're building on it and he is unhappy. See the difference? 1) Move 2) Do something illegal and risk getting incarcerated 3) Deal with it Life sometimes sucks. I get that OP wants peace, quiet, and privacy. It appears that his current domicile will not be able to provide that. The best solution would be to move and buy some acreage - and do better research on the property before purchasing. |

This kind of stuff can happen where ever you live.
Any one of your next door neighbors could rent his house out to drug dealers tomorrow. Even if you live in the country the adjacent property owner could build a 10k head pig farm upwind from you. Or put in a shit-ton of windmills. Only solution is to own 2000 acres and put your house smack in the middle of it. |

Three years of pure hell drove me to the breaking point. I decided to sell my house in the middle of the recession at a loss. A few weeks before listing, one of her exes (she was in her 40's and he was just out of high school) got jealous and decided to hammer in the skull of one client smoking dope on the ceiling of her house with a pistol. I woke up to police tape, sheriffs, and crime lab rats. Landlord evicted the bitch a week later. |

That sucks, but if you don't own that land then there's nothing you can really do about it.
Just be happy that it's not a Section 8 housing development instead. |
