Oh, dear... just had to get me started on my neighbors, didn't you? XD

I live in a three-story duplex in a, um, not particularly good part of town. If you don't know what a duplex is, it's basically one big house that's split in half to form two houses. When I first moved here, there wasn't anyone living in the other half of our unit, so it was nice and quiet.

Then, about a year and a half ago, this family moved in. I knew right off the bat it was going to be at least a little bit annoying, but I tried not to think much of it. If I'd known how bad they were going to be, I'd have probably decided to just move back to my hometown.

They stay up until all hours of the night yelling and laughing and just acting ridiculously rowdy. They get into fights with people that they invite over ALL of the time and, on several occasions, have participated in drug deals. We've called the cops on them a few times when it got REALLY bad, but Austin PD doesn't really care much. They just send one of their more lazy officers out here to tell them to "keep it down," which they do for about ten minutes after the officer leaves. Then they just go right back to the way they were before.

One particularly annoying thing they do revolves around the driveway. The driveway is split in half (so they have their side and we have ours). However, they do not hesitate to park behind our cars (so we have to go knocking on their door frequently to get them to move their vehicles) and many of the people they invite over have this annoying habit of parking sideways along the top of the driveway, which blocks everybody in.

I can't wait until they have no choice but to move out. I'm hoping that it happens VERY soon. I've had just about all I can take of them. I know that the area in which we live in is "affordable" housing for lower-class families, but that doesn't mean that they have to behave like they were raised like wild trash. :\
