Help! The New Neighbors Follow a Strange … Lifestyle. They’re Holding Our Block Hostage.
Last month, a couple moved in across the street from my wife and me. The trouble is, they are nudists and have no compunction about going about their daily routines in the buff. Well, my daughter came over to return her mom’s casserole pan on a day when the husband was mowing his lawn in all his glory. When I explained their lifestyle, she said that as long as they were living there, she wouldn’t be bringing her kids over (she has two girls, ages 4 and 2).
Trying to speak to my neighbors about the issue proved unproductive. When I asked if they could refrain from making themselves visible when she and the kids came over, they took offense and said it was their property and they were free to do as they pleased. I checked with my city’s ordinances, and my neighbors are violating city code if they are naked in a place where they can be seen by children. I would prefer not to have to report them, but my wife has mobility issues, so going over to my daughter’s place to visit our grandkids presents a challenge. What would you recommend?
