This question was posted a few months ago, I came across it just surfing the question board. Has anybody considered that anybody with this issue that has other issues to contend with such as mental illness, mental impairments and/or childhood abuses which have carried on into later in life? People far too often hold onto a "if the world around me doesn't conform to my beliefs then it is wrong" attitude. Instead of calling on a county or city to force someone to clean up, causing more problems, how about taking a look inside yourself and your own 'backyard'? I live next to a 'family' that has demonstrated physical abuse to each other, allowed kids to drink/drug, the older people drink/drug themselves as well, and all abuse neighborly boundaries, but heaven help all others that don't have a pristine home and lawn. Outward perfection doesn't always mean "clean". The person you think is a material mess outwardly could be the most beautiful person inside that you'd like to admire.

to enn: my question is essentially, do others agree?
to mynx: thank you for your perspective, in an area such as yours the danger is indeed quite apparent.
and to free_angel: good Heavens how you got your reaction to my post is baffling. I certainly am not approving of gies, and abusive people. What I am saying is that I live next to people such as these, and yet they think they have the right to try and force their lie of perfection on those surrounding them. We work our arses off every day and try to treat others with respect whether we like them or not. They do not. So, question for you; in keeping with a spiritual nature, how would you handle things thrown in your yard and at your house, trespassing, and complaints that your yard isn't perfect for their view?
To all others: if you have a partner who keeps a disorganized life, and can not take medication because of the nature of his work being dangerous without the distraction of meds, advice on how to help?
