Check every morning if the cans moved.
Notice they move Wednesday night.
Set alarm for middle of the night (3AM) and check if they moved.
Didn't move? Next week set alarm for 4.30AM.
Moved? 3.45AM.
Moved....
Shoot the guy trespassing on your property in dark clothes in the middle of the night.
Nowhere does it say they are Americans π€·ββοΈ also you sound like a psychopath
HOA plus calling a priest to have the house blessed certainly point in that direction though. But I don't think that would be legal everywhere even there. Isn't much use to you though if the neighbour is the kind of psycho to shoot someone over this.
Isn't HOA pretty unique to America (and maybe Canada)?
I live in an andelsboligforening, thats kind of the same i think.
Imagine if an association owned an apartment complex, and the association was owned by the members.
So i dont technically own my apartment, i own a specific part of the association, that is connected with this specific apartment.
We have the same for city gardens called Kolonihave, its actually very common in Northern Europe.
In US we call that a housing cooperative, that's different, because the co-op owns the building(s), then people own shares in the co-op. An HOA generally only owns (and maintains) the common areas, then individuals own their own building, but sometimes there aren't any common areas, then you're just paying the HOA for the privilege of being subject to their extra rules. Co-ops are rare, and harder to finance (since you don't own something that can be foreclosed on)
We have taloyhtiΓΆ which is similar. The one I live in at the moment is pretty good, we even have our own janitor which is rare nowadays. Today I called the janitor about a leaking pipe and they arranged a plumber for tomorrow, no hassle.
The housing cooperative is much liked and there are elderly people living here that were born in these houses and never lived elsewhere. It's not a posh neighbourhood either, which is nice. Just normal people.
But of course it varies a lot. Here most of the people who own the flats live in them, and the board members too, but the housing cooperatives whose boards are filled with landlords tend to minimize the upkeep and services. And when also the tenants change all the time the community that would look after itself doesn't have a chance to grow.
Ours is just a little over 100 years old now, and even back from the start, the building won some prize, i dont know what its called but something like best building made in copenhagen from recycled materials in 1918.
We also had own bathrooms, both toilet and showers, from the start. Most other buildings around here had it installed in the 80s.
And many other buildings also had backhouses that were eventually demolished to make room for common areas, where ours had the foresight to never build one.
Oh, and of the 250 apartments, about 70% are still owned by the same families who came together and built the building. That means that when the laws around pricing in andelsboligforeninger changed, people here chose to keep the old low prices.
"I might be able to become a Millionaire today, but then my 3 children would all need millions each to own a home" has been the consensus around here since then. (a million dkk is about 140.000$)
I am very proud that the families all came together around that decision before my time. Its literally one of the only places in Copenhagen where a normal person can own a home without millions in debt.
I imagine all neighborhoods have some local association that fills this function. It's just that the USA cosplays as libertarians while being authotitarians.
I hate to drag in Iran into this, but that's a country where property is respected. You owned a piece of land in the 60s that you never developed, then the revolution came and you fled to LA? Well your plot of land is still sitting there, untouched, in the middle of Tehran, now worth tens of millions of dollars.
As a homeowner in Iran, you own a cone with its tip in the Earth's core and its base emanating to the edge of the universe. The same applies if ypu own an apartment. You have a veto, changes can only happen by consensus.
Slightly annoyed by neighbor -> commits premeditated murder.
Yup, perfect solution.
