Not any more or less than there are off the internet. But yeah, i hear ya.

I just order 25 bounce houses to be delivered to the highlighted property posted above. On the same day. Told them to just set it up anywhere there was room, neighbor's laws are OK as well since it's a block party.

It'd function more as a status symbol for when she has guests over which is one of the worst reasons to waste money on anything.

Bear in mind we are in Texas so acreage is not quite as expensive as you'd find on the two coasts.
I see your neighbors have tennis courts! They must be a big deal these days maybe you should do it too.

No worries - I typically bury the stalkers on the back 40, and feed the general trespassers to the pigs.

@MKSixer

This is my neighbors property that touches the main road. Notice the gate house that you pass into the property.

The guy has like 50 acres, within 10 miles of downtown, and is less than a 1/4 mile from a large lake.

In principle I agree but I think this concern is a little overstated. I could go out to a random neighborhood and order 25 bounce houses (great idea @Mr Tonka ) for some random unsuspecting residence right now. If I'm a psychopath why limit my options to only those who are brazen enough to indirectly reveal their home addresses on a BMW off topic message board?

I can identify with this as well.

It cracks me up when people post pictures of their car with the license plate blurred out. Like all the other people on the road can't see your plate when driving or something.

In the Honda forums people used to look up plates to get home addresses then strip the car of everything in the owner's signature. Depends on the area, some jurisdictions don't make license plate registration data publicly available.

I know where I'm at many people drive around without plates, with stolen plates or using temp plates so people can't easily find who owns the car.

Another close neighbor is an heir to the Halls estate.

You should see THAT spread....

I'm at 1.5 acres. While my neighbors are a little closer than what I'd like, I have a county park behind me...which nobody can build on. So the closest thing behind me is over a mile away.

Top of the Mountain

I have 20 acres on top of a mountain in New Hampshire. Look out and see mountains and trees. Nearest house light I can see is couple of miles down in the valley. Its a 1 hour round trip to Walmart. about 3 hours round trip to home depot/lowes. Dark Skies and no light pollution.
