Technology: Rotten Neighbor Web Site - Locate Bad Neighbors Before You Move
September 26th, 2007 by PG Chic

I found an interesting Web site today called Rotten Neighbors which is a Google map mashup that allows you to search for “rotten neighbors” by zip code and/or contribute your own comments to the map. I did a couple of searches in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. Many of the comments appear to be useful, but I was literally laughing out loud (LOL) at some of the contributions.
If the Rotten Neighbors Web site owners can stay on top of vandals posting irrelevant contributions, then I think this could be a great resource for home buyers. Rotten Neighbors will only be as good as the truthfulness of the people providing the contributions to the map. It was interesting to see that there were a few entries highlighting good neighbors too.
Check out a few snippets of contributions from the Rotten Neighbor Web site below –
Where are the Parents?
“Has children that have friends that like to break into neighbors cars.”
I’m a bad neighbor!
“I am an awful neighbor, don’t move near me!”
disrespectful renter in the basement
“LOUD, FOUL mouthed renter in the basement even though it is against HOA bylaws…”
Momma has not cut the cords!
“Here is a family that is interesting. The two 35+ year old kids still live with their parents…”
Ghetto
“They hold loud conversations at 3am in front of the house with cars running…. run dont walk. Sorry I moved here cant wait to move away!”

If I had rotten neighbors like these, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKckQ4REU7M I’d surely add them into the site…these people are a nuisance
