Know thy rotten neighbor
search engine
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Oh, I've had loads of nightmare neighbors,
it's about time this website came along! RottenNeighbor.com is a
new internet site that is the first real estate search engine that
allows you to search an area before you move for any reports of a very
rotten neighbor. By state, county, or city, you can view detailed
maps of any reportedly troublesome dudes next door. Careless dog
owners? Non-stop gabbers? Unwanted "helpers?" You can
find not only how far away they live, but also how to deal with them
under the "Blog" section of the website.
The amazing
part? The "rotten neighbors" show up flagged on a Google
map! I did a quick search of Cleveland for the heck of it, and
I've got to say, it was quite amusing. "Drunk, single moms!"
"Shut that dog up!" "Where did that junky Subaru go?"
"Sunrise hell!" and "Wish I was having sex like these two!"
But take heart, there are good reports,
too. "Great neighborhood," "Nice people," "Friendliest homeowners"
are common tags as well. I would assume the downside to this site
is that unless the poster puts the exact unit number for condos and
apartments, it'd be hard for future vistors to update when people move
out - and evictions or broken leases are far more common in areas where
there are neighbor complaints. But, all of the entries are date
and time-stamped, so it's a snap to tell how recent good vs. bad reviews
are posted.
Love thy neighbor...but know what you're
getting yourself into ahead of time!
