We did have a noise ordinance, and I did call the police on them. I can only wish that you get a neighbor like I had one day.

"Hi, police! My neighbor's having a raging party that's winding down, and a bunch of drunk people are about to hit the streets. Want to arrest a bunch of drunk drivers tonight?"

No one wants to party where the cops routinely show up. Honestly, some of these things are so easy nip in the bud.

Owning a property known to a bunch of miscreants as the home likely responsible for all those expensive DUIs isn't exactly a desirable risk-free position to be in.

You don't exactly have to advertise it.

Unless we're talking a high density urban environment, there aren't generally too many candidates for retaliation - especially for angry folks not too concerned with getting it wrong.

Yes I'm sure complaining to your HOA is WAYYY safer.

I can only hope your HOA takes your living space over the paint on your door some day.

As if that works. There are places where there is a 2 hour response time for gunfire.
