Have you or your wife made it clear that she's no longer welcome on your property for solicitation purposes? If so, have her arrested for trespassing next time she steps on your lawn. I'm sure it'll work wonders for her campaign

I'm sure it'll work wonders for her campaign I half expect that very soon. The very next time it happens, the local police will be invited over to discuss trespassing. I have a "NO SOLICITORS" sign next to my front door. |

I say fork over the $125. Ms. Busybody is not someone to be trifled with, IMO.

Put up your own banner "Mr. JS98010 for REDACTED City Council"
That ought to give her something to think about. |

Sounds eerily like my old 30 home subdivision in Duvall, WA. That's why I moved outta there!

I'm gonna need MS Paint before I issue any further advice.
Srsly. |

I have some neighbors that are:
An elected county official Has "Christian and Democrat, you can be both" bumper sticker on their vehicle and A poster of Che Gevera on a wall in their garage/shop. ( My drive way is situated as such that when I turn into it I look directly into their shop. It ain't like I am snooping) |

This hive mind sayeth that Ms. Busybody is a filthy whore.
Of course, that's just opinion. |

hire someone to plow a moving truck into the new sign when its done... say something like the reflection of the sun on the sign blinded him temporarily... lets see her win her city council vote after endangering lives
In 29 Palms, CA right after the new expensive welcome sign for the town was completed some drunk plowed into it and destroyed it |

If you have the spare change, why not? No one can force you to contribute, but a nice sign at the entrance to your subdivision would probably raise your property values by at least $125. Plus she sounds like the kind of bitch who would tell everyone the names of the families who didn't contribute.
If you have the time the ultimate FU would probably be to help install the sign. Don't allow any pictures with you in it to be published in the local newspaper, as pictures of 'neighbors helping each other' or crap like that would be a feather in her campaign cap. Bonus points: Help the family in the old house near the entrance clean up their property, then play it as 'she wanted to kick this family out' with the help of her opponent. That should be the coup de gras on her bid for local office. You don't have to be an asshole (overtly) to seriously f*** her shit up. |

Call the Police for them to write a report. This is purely for future reference as she might Trespass again.

One of the neighborhoods around here, (maybe with an HOA but I kind of doubt it.,) has the name PLEASANT HILLS. and at all the entrances the signs were made of letters welded on a circle., and for close to the last 20 years the signs have read P_EASANT HILLS. Yep, some joker broke off the L's. Guess they didn't have an effective Mrs. Busybody or HOA because it was almost 20 years to get replaced with signs where the L is permanent.

Be the pimple on her ass throughout her campaign. See the pimple, be the pimple.
THEN, punch her in the taco. |
|
Sounds like you and wifey are the douches, not Mrs. Kravitz.
Busybody or not, her intentions are good as well as the potential results of her endeavors. If you can't afford the $125 man up and tell her you don't earn enough money to help. ETA Her post on knitting.com on her cheap hostile neighbors is spot on. |

Her good intentions are masking an agenda, and a very self-serving one at that. Please feel free to write her a check out of your bank account. It only takes one asshole to ruin a neighborhood. That asshole is usually on stay-at-home, undersexed woman with political ambitions or a chip on her shoulder for being moved somewhere she doesn't want to be. We had one in our nice, quiet neighborhood once, a wife of a musician that traveled a lot. She wanted speed bumps installed, wanted an HOA formed, wanted this, wanted that...etc, etc. A majority of the neighbors formed a counter-alliance and got her speed bump idea killed at the county level, and most didn't want a HOA because they knew what HOA's do.......fuck shit up. Her husband finally realized what a cunt we all knew she was and divorced her. Problem solved. |

Tell her you're not contributing because seeing large rocks always gives you flashbacks to when you were in prison for killing the last person that pissed you off.
|
|
Spread the rumor that the sign company owner is in some way related to the busybody, and lower estimates can be had elsewhere.
Watch hilarity ensue. |

count houses. 3187 / 30 = 106.23333333
125 x 30 = 3750 an innocent flyer showing how much she's pocketing or else that at least x % have already indicated their dissatisfaction with the plan and are not participating, and that ms busybody is assuming everyone else wants to pay, and that really, all involved should have a meeting in her lawn to vote. While wearing soccer cleats of course. |

Tell fer to get stuffed. Then kick her in the taco. Best. Response. Ever. I agree that you should definately screw up "fer" election chances. Maybe plant a rumor that she has a history of abusing her husband. Would be imossible to substatiate-most abused men wouldn't admit it- but might place enough doubt to ruin her day. Oh and +1 to taco abuse |

I would likely contribute $125.00, since it is voluntary and it sounds like a very nice looking improvment. She really does seem like a byotch and I'd hope she doesn't win the city council seat. Following up on any personal relationship she may have with the sign company seems reasonable, as well.

With regards to that sign; if there wasn't one there at all, it wouldn't bother me at all.
Here's my philosophy: I spend money on improvements on my own property. Anything beyond my property line is the responsibility of the respective property owner(s). In this case, the sign is either on county property or some other easement I do not hold the deed on. |
|
Dude, it's $125 bucks....I'd probably help install the thing too. I try not to be an asshole and maintain good relations with my neighbors....$125 for a sign and some landscaping is not asking a lot. Chill out and write the check. |

Can a couple of 4x4 posts, a sheet of OSB, and a can of black spray paint cost that much? Anything else is over kill.
Or support the new sign only if "LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT." is added. |

We recently did a joint neighborhood effort to improve the landscaping on our subdivision entrance. We had a neighborhood wide yard sale and were able to raise the money to not only improve the existing sign (that had rotted) and plant some flowers, but we were also able to paint the house of a man who is in Iraq serving. His parents got permission from him and we painted his house in appreciation of what he is over there doing, but also because it had fallen into disrepair while he has been gone and several boards were rotting. He shouldn't have to come home to that. We used the money left over to buy a Dalmatian pup to replace the dog our local firehouse lost (the fire chief is my neighbor three houses down). They named the pup after our neighborhood and we all had a great time having a tailgate party as several of the handy men volunteered the labor in exchange for free beer and hot dogs.
I can completely understand her desire to repair the sign if it's bad ... but she's going about it the wrong way. |

Now, the Looters will be shot is a sign I would support too. You also need a pauper's field to hide the body in afterwards. It's a matter of civil liability when the survivors sue for wrongful death. |

for $3700 I'd drive out from IL to do it. get some estimates from other places and give them to her, if you think it actually needs done and would consider contributing.

Signs are overrated, especially in neighborhoods that have a house that people are talking about getting condemned.
Also, people that really, really want to be in control of everybody else are usually the worst people to be in charge. It is your moral duty to crush her leadership aspirations before she becomes the de facto HOA-Fuhrer. |

It seems like she was trying to do something nice for the neighborhood. I would have cut her a check for $125 and thanked her for putting the whole thing together. Probably would have volunteered my time as well.
My neighbor did the same thing last year to get our sidewalks replaced. We all went in together as a group and saved a bunch of money and I didn't have to do any leg work to line up a contractor. It was very nice of her to go through the effort to pull it together. |

I would need liquor to kiss those lips! Nice sigline, BTW! |
