holy fuck i hate having boomer neighbors

i bought out in the suburbs in a SFH subdivision, homes are ~30 years old, 4+ bedrooms on half acre lots

within 6 months of moving in, 2 of the neighbors also sold their homes, and i thought "yay, the neighborhood is turning"... and the homes both sold for 25k above asking

then they move in and it's a 74 year old and 65 year old buying a 4 bedroom house for themselves

i searched property records and found that literally every house on my street was occupied by boomers.... about 20 homes, no one is within 30 years of my age

a nice subdivision, community parks/playgrounds, quiet, safe, 95%+ white people, 5 star schools, except it's a literal retirement community

they won't leave, they won't die, they are still blocking younger generations from affording single family homes

the worst thing about boomer neighbors is that they know their time on earth is limited at this point, so they'll behave however the fuck they want

one of my neighbors installed wind chimes in their front yard, CLANK CLANK CLANK every fucking day

the other neighbor "didn't want to pick up leaves" and cut down half of the tree in my backyard

every one of them plays music on their patios in the summer

they don't care to be considerate.... the only way to fight it is to be even more inconsiderate

ended up buying wind chimes that were even louder than dumb fuck boomer's across the street

ended up getting the loudest bluetooth speaker i could find, and when i can hear their music, kendrick lamar comes on

another neighbor decided "i like using your backyard as a cut through" and would leave their off leash dog outside barking all day, privacy fence went up and i blast a dog whistle through a bluetooth speaker

boomers have no children, they are bored, and they have zero issues starting neighbor drama, do NOT buy near them, buy near millennial families who are too busy to annoy you, or just get a shit ton of land because all neighbors suck
