I live in a community that has an association that has rules and regulations. I moved into a community like this b/c it ensures that people must keep their properties nice and be respectful to others. Well, this asshole who lives next to me deceided to put up a fence so they can keep their yard like "Sanford and Sons". Seriously, I am embarrased to have anyone over who sits on my deck b/c it's so damn nasty. To boot, this asshole is on the Board of Directors and made the rules to keep our community nice in this unstable realestate market we are in and is breaking all of them. So, finally after the neighbor on the other side and I complained and hinted to them to clean it up. the wife got "ghetto" on me and made a horrible scene out front of my home. I paid a lot of money for my home and it's only 2 yrs old. She called me every name in the book and said I was being this way b/c she is black. She sreamed outside for 15 minutes and dared me to get in her face. Now mind you, I have many friends that are black and they have commented how triffling the backyard looks. The little bit of grass thay have is seriously 4 feet in height and it actually curling over! They have this aggressive dog that barks all the time. Again, her husband wrote the rules and he has done whatever he wants. He never, ever has helped the Home Owner's Association and now they are trying to get all the minorities in the community to hate me. She said such horrible things to me that I can't even repeat. My one nice Dominican neighbor said she went in her home and cried for me b/c this lady was so mean. I help all the people who can't speak english well contact the builder when they have issues with their plumbing, and warranty issues.I never played music loud to be nice and her husband who works the night shift was off one night and was using a hammer at 1:30am. I never called the cops. I really fear for my safety as I live alone. I had to buy pepper spray and now I don't ever want to come outside again. Well, now the property management company gave them 1 week to clean up their property or they will be fined. They have done nothing as of yet and it's almost 1 week. So I know that once they get this fine, I am in for pure hell. She only lashes out at me and not the other neighbor b/c the other neighbor is pregnant and has a husband. Any thoughts guys on how to handle this. I am really, really scarred. Please Help with any comments.

Sincerely,
A caring, nice person!
