Each day, there are kids playing in my driveway. From after school to the evening, around 7:30pm. Later during the holidays.
Their parents have driveways too. I wonder, what its like to have my driveway uninhabited by plastic lawn chairs that parents put there to 'watch' their kids...a driveway, uncluttered with kids bicycles, helmets, skateboards, etc.
Should I get some children, so that my "kids'' can invade the neighbour's driveway? Is that how it works?
Our neighbors behind us (on another street, but our homes back to each other) were threatening to sue if we didn't fix up our backyard, they didn't like the look of it. It was "natural" - we just let stuff grow the way it wanted to, and it didn't look bad, but it wasn't manicured either. The neighbors were adamant, though, that it was ruining their property values and blah blah blah. So we told them, "you find, hire, and supervise somebody to clean it up, and we'll pay them." They also wanted to plant trees in OUR yard, which we let them do at THEIR expense.
Well, have a look at their backyard. I just took these pictures. That's a wagon buried in the snow. Cozy Coupe, trampoline, treehouse, all kinds of crap.
I don't like kids.
