We have a noise ordinance....10pm during the week, 12 midnight on weekends. They are pretty good about enforcing it in my neighborhood.....I used to call on my neighbors everytime they busted the limit, and the police responded and shut the party down. I am like you....I bend over backward, trying to honor other people's right to exist without my intrusion into their life in any way....and I expect others to be as considerate....and most are not. How many mornings do I go out, after one of those late night parties where these thuggy kids and their thuggy friends sit out in their cars, parked all over the cul-de-sac, all along the curb, in front of everybody's house at least 3 deep, smoking and drinking and eating, and leaving their trash and bottles, in the street and in the front yard of which ever neighbor they are parked in front of....no consideration or respect for other's property.....and it is all excused because, "hey they are just kids and kid all do these things".....WELL, NO, NOT ALL KIDS DO THIS!!! My parents raised me to respect other peoples property. MY rights end where the other person's rights begin! But kids are not taught this any longer. So, continue to call the police, ESPECIALLY if you have a noise ordinance....they will get tired of the calls and they will shut down the party. |
