Don't let your evil oleander-planting neighbor off the hook!
If your bitchy oleander-planting neighbor has the audacity to bully your elderly neighbor - and that's exactly what she did -who is she going to target next? Worse, what else is she going to do to your elderly neighbor?
Don't let this bitch get away with it. Her actions affect your property values too - who wants to buy into a neighborhood with someone like that for a neighbor? Talk to the son about replanting the oleanders in a better location. See if your community has a group that repaints & repairs houses for seniors & sign your elderly neighbor up. Find some kid to do yardwork for her & pay him yourself if you have to - you can always tell her he's doing it towards his merit badge or something if she doesn't want to accept charity. Talk to your other neighbors as well and ask them to help - chances are they're of the situation with both the bitch across the street and the elderly woman next door and don't like what's going on either. Better yet, call the police, explain the problem and ask for their advice - even if they do nothing at least they will have been made aware of what's going on there in case there are problems in the future. They may even be able to offer some suggestions for other senior citizen resources in your community that may be able to help your neighbor maintain her property.
But at least do something. Someone has to stand up to this elder-abusing bully before she plants again. Who better to do so than you?
