The Muliipu family is feuding with their neighbor yet doesn't drop a dime on her for growing dope? Doesn't anyone know how to make someone's life miserable anymore?:
In a quiet street in Grenada North a war between neighbours is entering its third year, with little sign of resolution.In the past two years police have dealt with more than 70 incidents in Tobago Crescent in the north Wellington suburb.
There have been allegations of animals disappearing, bottles being hurled at houses, intimidation, assault and death threats.
Hostile T-shirts have been distributed, one man has been evicted from his Housing NZ home and "urgent" neighbourhood meetings have been called.
The dispute will feature on a television show, Neighbours at War.
...
Next door, Hope Taylor tends a pretty garden filled with pot plants, white angel statues, and canaries chirruping from the aviary.
The perfect opportunity to make their enemy undergo a body-cavity search and yet they just sit there.
I think those New Zealanders just talk funny but if she were growing pot plants it could be the real reason for a $10,000 security system.
How does someone qualifiy for government controlled rent while being able to afford that?
Posted by: marybeth at April 1, 2007 01:46 PMThe article doesn't read like growing pot plants are a problem.
Maybe it's a typo and was suppose to say potted plants.
Otherwise, the housing authorities could throw her out and end the contentions.
They wrote "pot plants." LOL.
The expensive security system sure is a puzzler.
Possibly they drop the "ted" off pot just like Hawaiians drop the "d" with shave ice. One mustn't jump to conclusions. I think it is a cultural thing, possibly a linguistic anomaly. I'm sure "pass that joint" is also a pipefitter created term for apprentices.
