I have previously tried to help my neighbors solve their problems. NO MORE.
They can resolve their problems by themselves. I spent a lot of time
helping them. They didn't appreciate it one bit. All the while they just
knew the problems were on my end so the two neighbors that had RFI got the
neighborhood together and involved the city. To make a long story short, I
prevailed and they can live with their RFI. End of story. It seems the
more you do to try to help them, the more they figure you're helping because
it's your problem. They're going to get mad at you sooner or later, so why
waste your time? GL.
