Exactly. Some people have seriously ostracized themselves from local neighborhoods around here because they were complaining about and trying to have road hockey banned. Now, they have road hockey and a neighborhood full of people who dislike them.

Some of the politicians came right out and said, "Get fucked". It's giving kids something to do that doesn't involve crime or being overweight.

Apparently the PO of our house was that lady. Were slowly finding that out from some of the neighbors. Kids are sometimes out playing sports in the street here but the pavement is terrible so hockeys not even a thought untill its fixed.

Kids here are prety respectful, they move when a car comes and if a ball goes in the yard they ask if they can go get it.

The people that complain usually don't associate with the people they are complaining on anyway, so they don't care if people they already hate dislike them.

And actually, to me, it is clear that the pole was in violation. Here's the statute, in question:

Damn kids and their wanting to play outside. Why can't they be like "normal" kids and sit inside playing video games and eating cheeseburgers?

Or play on an actual basketball court, instead of in the street? For most, even in rural communities, that's an option.

Maybe these parents should take them to a real court or rink instead of disturbing everyone else's life.

Or even crazier do what my neighbor did a build a slab for a court in the backyard so they aren't near the street.

Yeah, yeah. What happened to talking to your neighbors to work it out?

My network is "get your own" right now. It's about time to update that...

Currently, my neighbours who let their kids play in the parking lot and leave their toys in people's parking spots have a couple of hundred pounds worth of cardboard, and assorted packing material, in their back yard. Every now and then some of it blows onto my patio, where it gets bagged and tossed back over the hedge onto theirs.

There is no talking to some neighbours, and my area is one step from becoming a slum.

What's to work out in this case? The woman went bat shit crazy and climbed the pole the first time they came to remove her pole, they wouldn't of gotten it off the curb if asked. They weren't going to move the goal where they would be forced to play on their property.
