To all our neighborly “neighbors”…here is my silent
complaint:
It sucks having to feel like a parole violator and to have
police show up to our door. It sucks explaining to our four year old why the
good police man yelled at their bad parents. It sucks knowing that people can’t
just suck it up or simply approach us with a request, one on one, instead of
going straight to the city to issue citations.
To all our neighborly “neighbors”…here is my silent advice:
Stop Scapegoating
People! Take a little extra time to look both ways and your safety to pull onto
the road will not be jeopardized. If you
do need to solve the issue, take time to be human and simply talk to us to
explain why you need something done before issuing a formal complaint. We would
be very glad to oblige knowing you asked nicely. Maybe put a KIND request letter in the mail
if you’re too scared of a face-to-face conversation- mark it as Anonymous. Getting the city to cite us for your issues
may get you a solution but frankly pisses us off and taints our impressions of
you and our neighborhood.
