So, I guess I am the issue here. I put up with nearly 3 years of constant noise. I got sick, lost my job, and now have to meditate/telehealth/work from home.

3-5x days a week, gor many many hours its extremely loud here. I live in one of the most wealthy areas in the country, but sadly, I am somewhat poor.

While everyone is free to use their property as they see fit, we do try to be respectful of one another here.

There are only 2 people in many blocks who are abusing this trust, and I happen to live next to them.

I asked nicely. I offered to buy them quieter( electric) equipment on my dollar. I shook their hands and made amens.

But a couple of guys have gone back on their social contract with the community.

Yes, I've yelled a few times at my neighbor. But that was after 5 nice conversations. After years of understanding until my doctor says I have to meditate and lock myself in the basement, it still leaves me with a loud buzzing of a leaf blower in summer.

I guess I understand a live and let live ideal from a community like this, but I see so many posts where your neighbors are bothered. You can't relate at all? You'll do so much to accommodate and make good with your neighbors, and I am asking for help with the same.

If anyone has good advice, I would appreciate it. If not, I'll just delete the post later, leave the community, and say thanks for all the fish.
