The neighbors I spoke of just didn't care about anything. The front storm door on their house didn't close correctly. It was a full glass door, they never put the screen in. On the hinge side there was still the original cast iron railing on the small porch. That storm door would swing back and forth, all day long. Hitting the door frame and banging into that railing. We were astonished it never broke, as hard as it would hit.
One of the older kids tied a rope to its handle, and would sometimes grab the rope to pinch it through the front door to keep the storm door closed, but the adults never did.
They had a small beat up car the oldest girl drove for a while. It stopped running, and had 2 flat tires, and sat on their front yard for about a year. It was also partly on the sidewalk, because there is no tree lawn on the street. (Everyone parks partly on the sidewalks because the street is a very narrow dead end street, the police never ticket because there isn't enough driveway space for those with multiple cars)
We finally called the township, it's not in the city, and they told them to move the car, or it would be towed at their expense and pay a fine. By that point the tags were expired as well, and it was obvious it couldn't be driven.
