Neighbor Woes on a Private Road: Part 2

[TwoForFlinching]

Yea right you “bad asses” that think beating the f*ck out of a neighbor will end in anything but hardship for my family are delusional.

Yea right you “bad asses” that think beating the f*ck out of a neighbor will end in anything but hardship for my family are delusional. He goes to hospital...I go to jail for aggravated assault and we lose all credibility in front of a judge when we wind up there over this road dispute.

I really honestly wish it was as easy as roughing up the gravel but it’s not. I 100% guarantee he had his wife video tape my FIL as she didn’t come outside until after he left and the cop said he “saw the video”...no disrespect to any officers on here but sometimes y’all will “bend” the truth to get admission to crime so just because they said it doesn’t make it fact. Still, I’m pretty convinced he is trying to get one of us to become violent so he will have it on camera for the above reason.

^^^^ Precisely ^^^^^ Don't take the low road. They are baiting you.
After all governmental options are exhausted, it is definitely lawyer time. Does the fact it is a private road hinder you with the county?

How many occupants does the road service? Do the other occupants feel they have been wronged? Maybe a class action?

2 families besides him and a business. Talked to the other affected neighbor today and they are equally pissed. Told them to contact the action center as well.

You need to not let this consume you, as it appears it is doing.

You can change what you can change, and you can't change what you can't. Do what you can, and when you've done all you can do, and it's your best, you need to figure out a way to let it go. Those that anger us control us. Don't let this prick control you and your happiness.

It ain't easy, but it's possible.

Maybe with all the new toys, he'll go bankrupt and lose the place. I've seen it happen.

I've had disputes with neighbors before. One grew old and died, and other went broke and moved. Without either of those happening, I'd probably still be having issues, but, I didn't let the disputes control my happiness.

Good Luck!

I think the issue is that it's consuming his wallet with the added road maintenance .

Someone else was having a very similar issue to this about a year ago... whoever that was, can you tell us how it turned out?

I'm sorry. I didn't know "soul" was a euphemism for "wallet".

I'll make myself a note.

What you aren’t getting is that I would work my nuts off and spend a bunch of money to fix it only to have him come and destroy it again. My temper cannot take another series of this it is the exact thing that has already happened and he will do it again. I have to go through the City or if that fails then the court system.

I’m thinking you need to get a calculation of what his share of the road work is and just sue for that amount. As noted, it’s basically impossible to sue him to “make him do something” to help maintain the road and especially his own drive. But his negligence and lack of maintenance can cause damages to the road, and you and the neighbors that share that road who have burdened that expense have that remedy (the suit) available. At the risk of oversimplification, it all about damages (dollars) so that’s what you’ll have to go after with any legal action.

Hell he may be judgement proof and broke on paper for all we know. But obviously talking to him and the city has proven pointless and you can’t make him do anything, so this is the next step in my mind. I wouldn’t even mess with a lawyer writing a spooky letter as this dude would probably just round file it anyway.
