I took my neighbor to court - and won

Six months ago the guy who owns the house next to came over and asked me to sign this form giving my permission to allow him to build a "sidewalk" from his driveway to the gate of his back yard. I'm a nice guy - sure, no problem.

Suddenly this guy moves in running his landscaping business from his house and he extends his driveway directly to my property line. In the process he took out a tree, and a number of bushes. Now instead of looking out and seeing a nice peaceful scene, I see nothing but concrete and his small fleet of work trucks.

So, I took him to court and bitch smacked his ass down. He was forced to remove some of the concrete to conform with city code. On top of that in it's place he has to plant trees that will prevent me from seeing his damn driveway.

Here's a picture of what it looks like minus the concrete.



The homeowners association also put a lien on the house for parking on the street over night ( he has six trucks for his business ) and for not putting away his garbage. Laugh if you want and poke fun at me, but I paid $500k for my house (it's worth half of that now) and I'm not going to live in the ghetto. He can put his fucking garbage away.

Next up..... We need to talk about his business license (which he doesn't seem to have, at least it's not on his business card) and then we can talk about zoning. Sorry, I don't like being woken up at 6am every morning by his Mexican crew hitching up their trucks and trailers ).
