Living 12 Inches from a Human Dumpster Fire

We have lived in our home for coming up on 6 years, it’s a beautiful dead end street in a sleepy little town. Every person on this street has been great and friendly. Except the ones who live directly on top of us (our houses are 12 inches apart, separated by a thin alley.)

They are drug and alcohol addicted, child neglecting, racist, insane people. When we toured the home with our realtor (who is black) the looks we were getting from them were nothing short of daggers. It doesn’t help that we are working professionals, successful and great parents, this only triggers their hatred for us even more. If you’re brown and successful in their eyes, that’s a personal attack against them….

A few years ago someone called the town on their cesspool of a house (that they are squatting in and don’t own) and said that the home was abandoned. The town came out to inspect and interviewed us neighbors, they asked if children lived there, we said yes and they got CPS involved due to the conditions of the home (broken windows, literal dead rats in front, trash everywhere) ever since then, they have had a personal vendetta to make our lives a living hell and Blame us.

Recently, the drunk emotionally unstable husband, spits at us, is blaring early 2000s rock music (dude is a literal clown, dresses like kid rock circa 1999 and rollerblades around drunk, it’s the most hilarious thing you can imagine, guys a literal meme) tells his underage son to go on a roof and play a guitar as loud as possible to annoy us, constantly stalks us (if we open the door to go outside they automatically just pop up, leering, talking through their children about us and just borderline harassing us).

I have not engaged with them In years, or spoken to them. Recently, some neighbors and I got together to report all of this to the town, we collectively can’t stand them anymore, I just wish to be left completely alone, and not have to look or deal with the them.

I have not retaliated or been baited into the drunk husbands taunting and childish tactics. I have too much to lose, he has no respect for his children or himself. Just wondering what the hell to do at this point, the police and town are not very helpful. I will continue to take the high road and just let them.

Implode. The screaming matches, children yelling the N word (hard r), n*zi marching down the street (yes that’s a thing they do as well) and overall hatred in that home is nothing short of shocking. They are without a doubt the worst parents I have ever seen in my entire life. Rant over for now. Any advice or similar stories I’d love hear!
