Moving away from everyone, of course, sounds like a great idea. But there is a catch… apart from having to drive 40 minutes just to get to the nearest big box store. And you won’t notice it until long after you have bought the property. Maybe even built that house you’ve always dreamt.
No, moving day will have come and gone, the boxes are unpacked, and the brutal reality of the oversight sets in…
At some point you will notice it and won’t be able to “unnotice it.” And it’s this: Everyone else out here also moved out here to get away from other people. Not only that, but a lot of them are a lot less sociable or sane than you proclaim to be at your worst.
It’s like some sort of low-budget horror film. (I’m sure I’ve actually seen this script.) Except it’s a lot less fun when you can’t just turn it off and are, instead, repeatedly subjected to increasingly deluded transgressions by someone who feels they have something to prove.
And these new neighbors, who view everyone else as the problem, will find that they can’t escape the real problem: themselves. But they’ll double down and defend their ego, blaming and lashing out at the few people left around them for their unhappiness.
This family had lived in their home out in the country for more than a decade. But a new neighbor who bought the land adjacent to theirs began escalating with petty complaints, soon growing into threats of legal action and trespassing from their own driveway that they had used for years.
