"Land that joins yours is worth more to you then most others so ANYTIME you get a chance Id say go for it BEFORE some jerk who would make a bad neighbor does"
This is entirely true. I could never understand what makes people become annoying neighbors, but there are some that become super annoying, ones that test the bounds of rationality, respect, and or common sense. I've observed the changes around me over the years, and with new owners, development, or other occupancies of adjacent lands, it seems that what you were accustomed to by virtue of mutual respect, neighbors who were the kinds of people that mind their own business, work hard, take pride in what they have be it 2 blades of grass for a lawn, are often replaced with prying, tresspassing, stealing, harassing, complaining, and unemployed fools that leach off the system, which sometimes directly supports the nuisance kinds of problems they create for others to deal with.
I have one neighbor left, who has been here since '67 or so, keeps his place well manicured, has a beautiful shop which was built back then, some great cars he did in there, and is one of the most respectful, polite and friendly people I know, the rest of the the neighbors have passed on, so it has all changed, now there are several who are just a constant nuisance. In my opinion, people were a lot better mannered in previous generations for the most part, jerks have been and always will be around, but things done changed that is for sure.
