You move.
However, how long do you keep moving?
Put it another way, what do you do if they play the music too loud?
Do you A) ask them to turn it down? B)Call the authorities and make a
complaint?
If you do A) at least you are attempting a dialogue before you have to
resort to B. It may be that a compromise can be reached.
In either case the neighbours will know that someone near them is making a
complaint, the same is for an objection to a planning application, then
again it may be the guy from China making the objection.
The case described was chronicled in the Sunday Times Magazine in early
2003. I think that the article contributed to the push for ASBOs. The
people were plagued with such neighbours for 2 years before the Council
was able to remove the problem neighbours because the legislation did not
exist to move them. Yes, the people went through serious problems but
they were not going to be intimidated nor were they going to move.
Ironically enough, for this thread, the people suffering from bad
neighbours had two offers from seriously bad people to "sort out the
problem." While punishment beatings may offer a short term solution, they
offer nothing in the long term.
I seem to recall that Martin Luther King and other civil rights marchers
suffered some horrific abuse, but they persevered and changed the system
so that the law was enforced.
