I write a lot about noisy neighbors and the problems that arise, and commonly try to offer suggestions like trying to talk to the neighbors, writing letters to the owner of the property, contacting local mediation services, and even suing in small claims for nuisance. I never recommend retaliation, although I am human and I know its tempting.
Some of you may know that I am a midwesterner (although I have now officially lived in California longer than I lived in Iowa). A friend from the midwest recently sent me a link to a story in Waterloo, Iowa – yes, they have neighbor issues back there too even though they do not commonly live on top of one another. If you are interested in the link, here it is [link to Globe Gazette article]. Or, you can just read the story:
