There is a row of homes behind me (next block over) that have been torn down and in their place, two story mini mansions arise from the dung. The occupants are 30 something with a kid or two, mercedes mini vans, nanny's, and stay at home Mom's. I can no longer go into my once blissful backyard that I so love to enjoy the serenity of my pond and pooches. Now I am at the mercy of my second story dwelling neighbors who think nothing of talking on their cells phones on their balcony while gazing into my yard, yelling at their obstreprous children and knowing every move I make, inclucing watching me as I gander through my yard at dawn in my PJ's and sip coffee.... Howdy neighbor??? NOT!@

They should be planting the 20 foot tall bamboo on their side of the yard, not me!!!!
