Hellions, so many hellions

SurefireHellions, so many hellions
Single, mid-thirties, owned this too-large-for-one-guy home in a nice quiet neighborhood for 5 years now. It continues to grow less quiet - a family with a bunch of kids moved in on one side of me a couple years back, and today my new neighbours on the other side moved in with a few hellions of their own.
Sigh, time to sell and move out to the country.

Johnny 3eaglesPeace and quiet get further away every year.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

mcrimmI’m 4 miles out. No hellions. They’re replaced by barking dogs.
I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown

trapper189Don't move here. We've got it all. Hellions, open exhaust diesels, straight piped motorcycles, barking dogs, dirt bikes, loud music, etc.

jimmy123xAll of the above with the addition of airplanes!
BEST thing I EVER spent money on was PGT impact windows with 7/16" thick glass and impact doors that seal well and R30 blown in insulation in the attic. It doesn't matter what's going on outside, I don't hear it inside my house. It's was worth every single penny.

Absolutely true. I can confirm this because I live in the middle of nowhere.

nukeandpaveI'm waiting to get a ticket because my truck does not have a loud exhaust.

PHPaulDamn. You guys make me feel better!
I get the occasional inconsiderate asswipe that rides his jake brake all the way down the hill at oh-dark-thirty and once in a while a micro-penis on a Harley, but by-and-large, it's pretty quiet around here.
Of course, I'm about 1/2 deaf too, so there's that.

ScreamingCockatooI'm here in the middle of no where in the treacherous mountain of Jawja.
We have the nice spring weekend dirtbags on their motorcycles trying to see how loud they can be or how fast they can drive the winding mountain roads.
The the blare of sirens to drag their asses off the side of the mountain.
Top it off with the hillbilly meth heads.
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

That, we got. And cheap heroin. Actually have a needle problem in our little village.
Wife and I walk 2 miles every day as long as it's not raining or below 20°. We have 15-ish miles of secondary roads we "patrol" and pick up returnables as something to do while walking. Lately, we routinely find 2 or 3 syringes, needles intact just laying along the side of the road.

fatmanspencerSC, the methhead are what make those cycles go vroom though. We wouldnt have one without the other, trust me. Sure, I want me a cycle, but since I work the hours I work, itll be purely 9 am weekend off ridings, so I figure thats not worth it yet. Still need a house first.
Used guns deserve a home too

egregoreDefine "hellion." Are they just, for example, playing outside noisily, or actually misbehaving? I'll take kids playing over loud car/motorcycle exhausts (I've got one of those jerkoffs across the street) or loud music with thumping speakers any time.

SurefireDamn, even the middle of nowhere is somewhere nowadays, by all your replies.
Hellion - normal kids screaming is bad enough. That high pitched, ear piercing noise and the incessant crying is FAR worse than loud internal combustion engine. Far, far worse. Vehicles drive by for a second - kids scream for hours.
