I worry about this. Our neighborhood is not a very cohesive place. We live next door to a plot of land that was lying fallow under some high voltage lines. Last spring a growing gang of teenage boys began to hang out there, build a mud bike track and generally engage in loud and unpleasant behavior. The worst words a 100 decibels get tiring after a while. Picking rocks and bottles out of our driveway and back yard was not a lot of fun either. I tried to talk to then about being good neighbors. Biiiig mistake. The police were involved next. Bottom line was that the cops couldn't do much because the utility did not want to be in court dealing with trespass cases. The only thing that worked was to persuade the utility to put up chain link. Surprisingly and to our great relief - we got the fence. Months later we found out the the parents of the teenagers hated us and made us look like intolerant eccentrics to the town newspaper. What we did is remove a local spot where the kids could go and be out of the hair of all those overworked professionals. The needs of our household ... simply did not matter. I despair of pulling the neighborhood together when feuds erupt over such minutiae.
