I think its become a way of life, for whatever reason, its not as common as it may have been.
One of the things that stood out to me years ago, was when our old barn and house (no excuse, but worked out of town) became a problem. Neighbor ignited the situation with the town, instead of first, coming to us to discuss it like you should with any problem or concern, I did not disagree about the situation, but it could have easily been resolved and avoided the fiasco with the town whom we beat in court fair and square.
Common sense would tell you, go and talk with the people, if after that you determine its untenable, ok.... take it to the next level, same people broke in, stole things, they also dumped all their garbage in an old van body truck, so I classify that kind a face value, people seem to like to be jerks.

Pop always dreamed of having more acreage out in the country where he could retire and tinker as much as he wanted and often reminisced about his boyhood days on his grandfathers farm in Montecello,
