I suspect most of his claims are true because he's gone to the trouble of documenting them on a website.
In terms of compensation, I'm not saying he and/or his wife deserve anything, with the possible exception of a new window. What I'm saying is that, assuming he's not a pathological liar who went to great lengths to fabricate a lot of evidence to back all of his claims, nobody deserves to live with those kind of neighbors.
I appreciate all of the legal advice, and I understand now that there isn't anything to this case in terms of judicial precedent. I can set that aside, but I am still curious about neighborly relations in other college towns.
My experience was at UCSB, where virtually the entirety of the town of Isla Vista, where all of the fraternities and sororities are located, is inhabited by college students. Everyone expects a lot of noise on Thursday-Saturday nights, from Greek and non-Greek houses alike. In other words, it's not an issue...there are rarely noise complaints.
The problem at Berkeley is not that the Greeks are loud on weekends, it's that the chapters that are further from campus and nestled among non-student residents are loud and raucous.
Did anyone on Greekchat have a chapter house that was similarly nestled among the neighbors? Did your chapter butt heads with them, or were you on friendly terms? Were any agreements or compromises made regarding weekends and/or large events? I'm curious to learn about other campuses.
I don't have any conjecture on my agenda or undisclosed motive. I don't know the couple. I do know that if I were in their situation, I'm not sure what I'd do. What would you do?
