Neighbor problems.

Somehow, we've gone from obnoxious neighbors telling you what to do with your house, to cruddy DF parties in one giant, nigh-incomprehensible ranting text wall.

Look:
Neighbor demanding dude not use a chimney because it's in his view? Jerk.
Dude upgrading to larger chimney to spite obnoxious neighbor? Hilarious. And justified.

If more than 2 lines of text are too much of an effort to read for you, I'll make it simple:
Neighbour asking if it would be too much to not to use a chimney because it's in his view? Just a simple request you can turn down if you actually care about your chimney.
Dude upgrading to a larger chimney just to spite someone else who didn't hurt him in any way? A jerk.

Adorable, but no.

It's not that it's too much effort, it's that it's a rambling wall of angst about topics that wander far outside of housing. This thread is about people being obnoxious in the housing wards, not Duty Finder.

Moral of the story is that he who spends the money on the plot gets to decide what to do with it. I see decoration in the housing wards that boggles my mind as to who could find it attractive, but you know what I do? I IGNORE IT. It's not my property, and not my business. I'm not going to be the obnoxious busy-body neighbor, telling my neighbors that they can't have chimneys or glowing decorations. I focus on making my place pretty, and go on about my business.

If your neighbor's decorations are such a big deal to you, just buy a whole ward in 4.0. That way, everything can be nice and vanilla for you, and no neighbors have to worry about getting the in-game equivalent of a letter from the HOA.

Did you not read my post? I said they "demanded". There was no asking or conversation. If I were your neighbor and you "demanded" I not use too many glowing decorations, my lawn would literally be brighter than Las Vegas.

You know, I've actually considered doing a quick redeco project on my lawn to fill it with glowing things, and then taking a picture of my toon standing there, wearing shades and a smirk, just so I can post it in here.
