[RP TownTalk] party weekend

[Sue Collins]

Horrible that you can't even enjoy your own home and yard and assume they'll be safe from your neighbors and their activties, isn't it?  I'm constantly trying to replace plants in my little patch at my apartment building, but the local ne-er-do-well's keep stomping/ripping the plants up; plants cost money!  It would be nice if  your neighbor would offer to reimburse you for the plants that were destroyed and for any other damages done to your property or other property in the area.

Subject: [RP TownTalk] party weekend



Ward 2 was the scene of the biggest party ever this weekend.  One of our neighbors on Tuckerman had a giant party on Saturday.  Every parking space on every street  in Ward 2 was filled.  The police had to come and direct traffic.  People who live in the neighborhood could not get home for dinner and had to go out to restaurants to eat.  Cars parked on both sides of our small streets made it impossible to get through.
So, am I complaining about parties?  No way.  I love parties and lots of people.  But I would like our neighbors to know when they do have a massive gathering, they are responsible for their guests.....
We had a young inebriated man walk down my neighbor's driveway, climb over our 6 foot vinyl fence, jump in our yard, trampling all my beautiful Iris flowers, and looking for a place to urinate.
When confronted by both our dog and Simon, he stated that "his mother didn't raise him like that, but he had to pee".  He was told, not in our yard and don't climb our fence you will break it. Nevertheless he climbed the fence 3 times. Finally urinating in our neighbor's driveway.  
On Sunday morning the streets were filled with trash, beer cans, cups etc.  The day after Earth Day.  Can you imagine?
So could we have an ordinance put forth to our Town Council?  "If you hold a large party, then you are responsible for cleaning up after guests and you are responsible for their behavior?"

I hope our neighbor on Tuckerman reads this and submits an apology to Ward 2 Residents.  It's the neighborly thing to do.
