Do you know the parties in question? Is the (rental) house really that bad?
You won't see me post anything. Ever. If I do it's a response on a house tip or "help me find x" type post. I am on there because a neighbor I know in real life (really good people btw) asked me to join to start up a presence for our side of HR. So I did.
We get updates on crime and other goings on. If a neighbor needed help I would like to know if I can help. I hear about things from DougCo Sheriff before they hit the news and are filtered.
BTW, the webs are now giving up (for free) far more info than most people voluntarily provide to the socials anyway. Plug yourself into this...

Yup, I keep it around to see what types of people my neighbors are. It really helps identify the ones you want to avoid. Lol. But I stay far away from any drama posts or arguing. WAY too close to home.
I use it frequently if i spot a dog running loose with no owner. Has helped me locate/return more than a few dogs.
Some pretty funny stuff on our neighborhood's FB page recently. So this weekend the pool to the west was closed because of an electrical fire that made it unsafe to be near the pool... bummer, guess they'll have to go to the pool on the east side of the development. Well, yesterday a kid pooped on the deck close enough to the pool to cause an issue that had to close the pool down for decontamination. Now all the housewives are losing their shit because they can't take their kiddos to the pool while they aren't in school. One lady even made a "poop deck" navy joke out of the whole fiasco- most didn't find it funny at all.

I have an idea of which house it is.
I think my idea of 'bad' vs what others may consider 'bad' may be quite different. I've got a trailer parked on the side of our driveway on our property, and I don't think twice about it. They don't have trash on their lawn that I recall. Then again, if anyone approaches me about the way our front yard looks, I cheerfully ask them if they think pink flamingos will clash with the Broncos-themed blue-and-orange astroturf we're thinking of putting in?
I am a huge fan of no HOA = do what you want with YOUR property.
As far as the sniping neighbrs in the Nextdoor site...I think they just hate each other.
Just wait until it gets closer to July 4th. We'll have TONS of quibbling posts about fireworks.

Next time I find a pink flamingo on clearance I'm totally installing it in your yard
We sometimes see strange stuff here in Canton around the "First Monday trade days"... the Thurs-Sun before the first Monday of every month Canton hosts the largest swap meet in North America... between 250k-400k people come thru our little town in 4 days.
Just this last Saturday I saw a pickup with 6-8 GIANT pink flamingos in the back (they were sticking up above the cab)... I should have taken a picture
Nobody in our area on nextdoor to speak of... I deleted my account, Nextdoor couldn't even resolve my home address. But there is a facebook group my wife joined for lost dogs, neighborhood watch, etc.

There must be a lot of background missing from that post!
I have a love/hate with the HOA. I don't like another layer of government but I also don't like it when a neighborhood goes downhill. Equally worse, when there is no HOA and busybodies take it upon themselves to police the neighborhood (happened in my Parker subdivision).
