Every time somebody complains I just suggest infantry tactics.
after joining I just edited my last name a bit. It wouldn't let me shorten it much though.
We've got some newer good neighbors now and a lot of dormant properties now occupied by normal employed people. Things are looking up around my area. Friendly folks too which helps a lot.
This was on mine today. The workers should have asked, buy to make it into an issue and file a complaint[facepalm] Its 1.5 cents worth of water for 5 gallons.
"Today my wife caught a city construction worker filling their water container with our residential water hose; one of those very large jugs of water you'd see at a picnic, or construction site. I believe this this is the construction crew currently working in the Arvada area to replace/upgrade gas lines and systems.
Since they have been gradually moving across the roads, residents across the neighborhood have probably had their water stolen over the last 1-2 months of construction. We've filed a complaint with the city.
We heard our water activate yesterday and didn't think anything of it, but investigated this time. The construction worker just made excuses. Look out for them trespassing and stealing water".
Why don't people talk to their neighbors, anymore? Hell outside this area, do you people even wave at each other.
In the 4ish square miles that make up my neighborhood, there are over 500 homes and I don't drive down most of the 25-30 different streets. However, using this site allowed us to drum up support for more than one community neighborhood; the most important of which allowed us to get enough support to add speed bumps in some key areas, including my street. Traffic and speeds are WAY down now. Also, while I may not consider someone who lives a mile from me a neighbor, I'm still interested to hear if they are having their home broken into, especially when they have video.
I still talk to my neighbors. Nextdoor lets me have a broader view of things across multiple adjacent neighborhoods, people that I would never get to "talk" to otherwise. Besides there's only maybe 10 households in my filing who are on Nextdoor, out of ~100.
Speaking of waving at other COAR members, I have yet to see another car with the COAR sticker(s) on it.
I like my neighbors but we all chat via WhatsApp instead of Nextdoor. We do weekly bronco game get togethers, multiple block parties in the summer, golf tournaments, etc.
Nextdoor is full of whiny people.
