Resolving Neighborhood Conflicts:
Building Skills for Success
Have you ever experienced these or other similar challenging situations:
· Your neighbor's dog barks and awakens you several nights a week
· A neighbor wants to convert his garage into an apartment and you're concerned about noise, house values dropping, etc.
· You disagree with a developer's plans for building in your neighborhood
· Your neighbor has constructed a fence on what you consider to be your property.
· Neighborhood teenagers are congregating at businesses and on the sidewalks in a three block area, causing disruption for the businesses and pedestrians
Whether you're facing these difficulties as an individual or as a neighborhood,
homeowner or condo association, you can acquire skills to help negotiate an outcome that is workable for everyone.
