<\/a>I didn\u2019t want to call my neighbor\u2019s parole officer, but I saw it as my last chance at peace. Not peace between the parolee and myself, but peace and quiet from my noisy neighbors.<\/p>\n The ex-convict was living in a rented house next to ours with a woman he knew, her kids, and a lot of visitors at all hours of the day and night for short visits, if you know what I mean. In other words, drug deals from noisy neighbors that the police decided weren\u2019t big enough to warrant their attention.<\/span><\/p>\n But that wasn\u2019t the main reason I spent months complaining to police before I eventually figured out that the man\u2019s parole officer was the best person to help me solve the many problems he created among the noisy neighbors he lived with. I\u2019ll get around to those problems later, which I should have seen as a tipoff of the recession that was to come.<\/span><\/p>\n In a roundabout way, my call<\/a> to the parole officer was not only an example of how to deal with a bad neighbor, but of how the rising housing market and low home rental rates quickly led to the housing market crash, and thus the recession, of 2008. My call to a parole agent, I see now, should have alarmed me to the housing crash that was coming. Hindsight is 20\/20, I know, but seeing what was a great neighborhood become a spot where drug dealers could come and go is something you can\u2019t miss.<\/span><\/p>\nNoisy Neighbors Just the Beginning<\/h2>\n
