Hoarding is a mental disorder. Some people slip into a depression after losing someone that they fill that void with junk, or when they were young their parents didn't allow them to have certain things that now they are able to buy what ever they want and they are afraid of letting things go. I caught myself slipping into that after my grandma passed away. I didn't want any of her things to go to the trash so I kept it all until one day i had to down size my home and had to let things go. It was very difficult but I am thankful that I was finally able to.

A neighborhood three houses down from me did this. His wife moved out cause she couldn't stand his hoarding, the house was full, the backyard had junk cars. Not sure how he got them back there since the gate was a standard single width for a wooden privacy fence. However, he slept in his pickup in the driveway due to no room in the house. One about 10 years ago a neighbor who lived across the street from the hoarder was leaving in the morning for work and heard a noise across the street so he went to check it out. So sad, the little old man had had a stroke sometime in the wee hours of the morning in his front yard and layed there most of the night until my neighbor found him and called 911. He had to stay in the hospital for sometime, then he went to live with his daughter. The city came in after that and cleaned up the property. They trapped 85 cats on the property. Crazy stuff.

I sold my house last year and dropped my home value 10k just to sell all because i had a deadbeat neighbor. My neighbor thought cars, trailers, and boats belonged in the front yard in a subdivision. He thought a chicken coop and a garden in his front yard were also ok. Then he thought pouring gravel all over his grass was a way to get him out of mowing his lawn. The grass just grew through it in patches. Lets not forget about his dandelion farm he had and did nothing about making my lawn reno impossible. After mowing his yard when it was 2-3ft tall on several occasions i went to the county. This proved to be a waste of time because there is no ordinance on how tall ones grass can get. Also they did make a drive to his property where they issued a warning on his vehicles and trailers. Come to find out as long as they sat on a bed of gravel and had a hideous blue tarp put over them then they were ok so thats exactly what he did. Made an eyesore even worse by adding tarps that withered away in the sun. I got the subdivision board to site him for the chicken coop but overall it was a nightmare that cost me thousands and countless hours of extra headaches.

I live on a corner in a bad city, my neighbor across the street in a now closed store, after the clerk was killed in a hold up 8 years ago, with house connected to the store and another behind it are similar to this video. They pile mountains of large items like appliances, toys, furniture in a wooded ditch behind the property, on the property and in front of the store by the street which is 20 or so feet across the street from me. I think there's up to 6 ppl living there now mid-30's to 70. I believe they are some type of narcotic users. They put up a circus type tent in front of the store and sell what appears to be items they dug from peoples trash or set out on collection day. They also work on cars and will be 24/7 beating out fenders and stuff at 2-3-4a around the clock. None of that bothers me, I don't care what people do as long as I'm left alone and MY PROPERTY is left alone. My issue with these people and another neighbor, 6 Mexicans beside me, that live in a 2nd tiny house that was built in the backyard of the main house next to me, is they pile mountains of loose food trash like paper, plastic, foam, etc cups, plates, etc all loose in front of their house, I guess intended to be picked up by the trash collector, but all day every day dozens and dozens pieces of this crap blows into my front yard. As well as the ppl beside me they and their kids throw objects into my back yard daily. Same with the people at the store across the street. Stuff that will tear up my mower blade. they both let their dogs roam and crap in my yard. The ppl beside me barks constantly when I go in my backyard or driveway, their kids scream like being murdered just after dark many nights a week. They park in the street blocking my driveway. they hang clothes on my fence like it's a clothes line. I already have to deal with gang vandalism, break-ins, thefts, ppl driving down the street and stopping at the stop sign in my front yard, dumping trash or putting up signs that they never come back and take down, etc. Driving across the corner of my front yard, parking on the grass along the side of the house area between the sidewalk and the curb, especially after it rains so I have trenches to deal with when I mow. I can't go out and fix up my yard or enjoy my property, because I have to worry about the store ppl's loose pitbull, or just get to pick up these ppl's garbage so I can mow or repair vandalism done. I've lived here 36 years, my grandparents lived here when the house was built in 54 for like 33 years. I should not have to move because of new arrivals that just showed up the last few years to decade and don't respect property boundaries. I just want to wish everyone the best life they can have and be left in peace, have been more than happy to help ppl for free for several decades of my life, but all I get is liars, scammers, harassers, etc in return. I wish these people would stop flooding me with their garbage, move or die. As is, instead of being able to look out my window and think about tending to my yard or going into it and doing that, instead I think about taking them and myself after out. Which is wrong. This world is so filled with destructive ppl that are incompatible with being part of a functional society.
