>flushing cat litter down the toilet in retaliation

Ahh yes.. the ole "I will cause damage to someone elses property because they are endangering the environment, and because im special and should not have to hear any noises whatsoever as to not damage my oversensitive hearing because I am an oversensitive all about me asshole" scheme.

you are just another typical asshole who thinks the fucking world revolves around you. if you dont like gas blowers move to california cause they banned small gas engines which will include blowers and trimmers. That way you can feel special along with the rest of the commie bastards that run and inhabit commiefornia.

>>2401651
Tbf landlords usually deserve it for one reason or the other.

>>2401653

fighting noise problems with property damage is pretty lame. you are fighting an imaginary battle because nobody who runs the apartment will associate clogged pipes with some special snowflake who thinks there should be no noise in the world.

>>2401655
It will probably make op feel better about it though

>>2401589
>Is there anything else I can do?
Yes, stop acting like a little bitch and buy a pair of headphones if it bothers you that much.
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe they can't afford switching to electric? Or that gas ones are simply just better? It probably hasn't, since your first thought was to damage plumbing, because we all know that someone who can't tolerate the noise of a leaf blower will be able to tolerate the noise of an entire building crew tearing walls and putting new pipes in.
Or, if it really bothers you that much and you're so enthusiastic to do something about it, there is nobody stopping you from buying the tools and doing the job yourself (since you have all the money and energy needed to pour lots of cat litter down several toilets).
Imagine having people come and do maintenance for you, and still finding a reason to complain about it.

Hey, come to think of it there is nobody stopping him from buying....his own property, instead of renting and calling it "my" apartment building but having no recourse in the face of "their" leaf blowers other than clogging the toilets like a petulant and not-too-bright convict in a cell that his own poor decision making put him in.

You're a dumbass for doing this at all, but at least try to get it right.

Try orbeez.

electric is a scam
however
using 2 stroke gas equipment around other people's parked cars should be a crime
using landscaping equipment around other people's parked cars should be a crime
you have to wash the car every single time, because it's covered in sticky unburned 2-stroke gas-oil black tar shit equivalent to hours of sitting in heavy traffic on a hot day

modern "landscaping" itself should be a crime, it's a total loss fucking scam

>>2401811

you childish attacks will possibly cause damage and then workers will have to come in and fix it. guess what they will be using all sorts of not environmentally friendly tools and devices to have to fix it. all of which will make way more noise than a leaf blower.

>>2402047
Keep up the good fight, people simping for the enemy just dont get it.

OP is going to vandalize plumbing to "send a message" about landscaping noise. It's not outside the realm of possibility that he'd carry the bag around with him, if not to his targets then at least to his apartment.

I suppose he could leave the bag in his car and keep filling up a soda cup or a ziplock baggie or something, but it's really not hard to pick up on people doing suspicious things when you look at surveillance footage. And if there are cameras, you can be damned sure they'll check the footage as soon as the plumber reports their toilets fucking up because they're full of concrete.

>>2402559
>it's really not hard to pick up on people doing suspicious things
Thats the beauty of it, there is nothing suspicious about just walking into the bathroom and using it.

OP is a nigger

>>2402559
>OP is going to vandalize plumbing to "send a message" about landscaping noise

what better way to send a message than by using landscape building material to vandalize the building?
concrete, pea gravel, dirt and sand, bricks in the toilet tanks so not enough water comes out to flush

more people should take initiative like him, all the zoomers itt that would sit back and get rolled over is funny to me.

It’s ok NEET friend, you are allowed to get triggered and simp for landlords if you like, no need to make fake posts lying about it.

>>2403042
A normal person can pay normal damages. You can get a judgement for 25k or 50k for the repairs, sure. You get the guy to setup a payment plan or sell the debt to a servicing agency that collects on it, or you garnish his wages.

It's probably not multiple millions

>>2403049
You say that but obviously haven’t dealt with it in real life
I had my car totaled by an uninsured driver who was at fault, I had paid extra for uninsured driver protection on my insurance.
They took them to court and sued them, but it doesn’t mean shit if they don’t have money. It’s been over a decade ago i and never got my deductible back. My car wasn’t valuable and my deductible wasn’t very high.

You literally won’t see a penny out of poor people who live in a slum apartment. They probably have outstanding debt from defaulted credit cards and other poor financial decisions anyways.
They literally don’t garnish wages unless you have enough money to live off of. If their wages are low enough to qualify for food stamps and welfare, they won’t actually garnish them.

What your settlement says and what you actually can realistically get from someone are two very different things.

>>2403997
While that guy is a dickhead, many renters have never actually tried to buy a house and blindly just say "I cant afford a 30% down payment on a $40k house (listed on market for $200k) because I wasnt born into money"
Walk into a bank (or better yet your local credit union) and talk to a loan officer.
They tell you if you quality, and what exactly to do if you dont qualify.

They make money off of your loans, they want to give loans, they want you to sign up for their credit cards (which they make money off of) and for you to make a savings account (which they make money off of). They will tell you the quickest way to become eligible is to buy a car (with a car loan they make money off of)

Its all a game and its all arbitrary, your actual credit score is arbitrary, as is what the credit union will actually look at in your credit history.

I grew up with parents who rented house to house to house, I lived in 9 different houses as a kid. My mom stole my identity when I was 18 and defaulted like 6 credit cards in my name. I have medical debt and student loan debt.

Guess what?
I got a house loan, and a car loan. Ive paid that car off and got a second car loan.
I own a house, and I drive a 2020, and I have almost $10k in credit limit on my credit cards (which I get cash back on)

If you have an actual job that pays ok, its not hard to get a house.
The people who are RAH RAH FUCK THE BANKS deserve to live in a trailer or rent while driving a shitbox.

>>2403997
only poor people are finding it impossible to buy a house in the USA. In most places in the nation, the median household income is enough to be able to afford a mortgage on the median house.
IDK what you're on about with a "$40K" house; I doubt it would be possible to have a normal house built anywhere in the country for that amount. And where the fuck do you need a 30% down payment?
You losers always have so much to whine about and so many complaints....
<Oh no, it's not close enough to (((entertainment)))!
<Oh no, I would have to drive 20 minutes to work!
<Oh no, I would have to live around blacks!

It's a way of expressing that housing prices are artificially inflated. Here's an example: a shitty double-wide trailer with some cheap wood siding. Look at the price. Then realize this was last sold for $29,000.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/317-Stine-St-Duncannon-PA-17020/52646953_zpid/
Then there's this crumbling shithole in some podunk town I never even heard of, abomination thread bathroom and all. $89k. The current owner bought it for $10,887 this year.
If you're looking at this and coming to the conclusion that "hurr durr just dumb yuppie millenials and zoomers and their dumb stupid wants", you might just be an out of touch boomer that thinks we're still in the 60s and 70s in every way but culturally.

>>2404047
Guess what?
People buy foreclosures for cheap and flip them.
Thats the nature of real estate. There is nothing stopping you from doing so as well.
Or you can just buy a regular dwelling with a regular loan like regular people.

>If you're looking at this and coming to the conclusion that "hurr durr just dumb yuppie millenials and zoomers and their dumb stupid wants",
No, its dumbfuck millennials that listened to reddit and didnt even bother walking in and trying to get a loan for a house. Literally didnt even try, but is sitting here convincing himself it was futile because some people flip some houses.

Spend less time obsessing over flippers and more time getting approved for a loan.
You can sit on that loan for however long you want waiting for the perfect house to pop up while ignoring the flipped and obviously shit houses.
Stop being a retard.

both sides have a point to be quite honest.

on one hand destroying other people's property is shitty, especially when the act of destroying that property will impact the daily lives of dozens of other innocent people. you don't own the building, and you aren't lord of the land so you don't get to decide that happens on that land.

on the other hand, living in a densely populated residential area, even a high income one, can be absolutely maddening with the cacophony of unyielding noise all around you. it can literally be enough to drive a person insane. there is an actual medical condition op probably suffers from called misophonia as well, making things worse.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/misophonia

ultimately the solution is not to dump concrete into the plumbing system, but to buy your own land and property in an environment more suitable to your needs. if you can't make this happen, you absolutely have to do everything you can to restructure your life in such a way as to make it possible. the alternative is to live the rest of your life wreaking destruction on everything around you driven by your inconsolable rage, which is ultimately only a result of your own failings since you are unable or unwilling to solve the problem correctly.

>>2401589
Let them use what they want but I don't get leafblowers. Why blow leaves and grass clippings off the grass? Blow the naturally degrading nutrients out of the way so you can dump fertilizer on it. Seems idiotic

>>2404010
Fuck off retard. Predatory loans are disgusting and you're disgusting for supporting them like the good retard that you are. Housing prices are being inflated artificially, and combined with the economic terrorism of the power elites is resulting in the fact that the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is being wiped out.

>>2404047
>$89k. The current owner bought it for $10,887 this year.
> $10,887 this year.
Buying a fixer upper and improving it is a great way for a buyer without shitloads of money to get into owning their own home.
My point is that the idea that you have to be "born into money" to be able to buy a 10,887$ house is ridiculous.

Try looking at pic related, its about 15 miles away from that Duncannon listing (this one is in the city of Harrisburg)
I'm still not believing the "born into money" requirement for buying a house like this.

The housing market is weird, and of course it's hugely driven by how much money or loans the buyers have access to. Houses don't tend to cost the same amount as the sum of it's material costs.
If you want to afford a nice house in the nice part of a nice, wealthy and desirable area, realize that every single person there wasn't born wealthy. Half of them, probably. But the other half are working upper class jobs. You could do what it takes to get a $250K a year income, or you can keep blaming others and making excuses.
If you want a better life for your family, then do what it takes to get one. Or learn to appreciate a simpler life.

>Housing prices are being inflated artificially
What the hell would a "natural" housing price be? Obviously, things would be a lot different if the last several hundred years of history and economic development had never happened, but sperging about what house prices would look like under the gold standard or something is useless and inane.
Even if fractional reserve banking and all the other crap didn't exist, people would still be loaning each other money and the cycle would repeat in a different way.

Sperg out about how the world doesn't match your autistic precepts or else learn to be a socialized adult and work with the circumstances that are available.

>>2404047
housing has stopped being something that serves a basic human need and has turned into a speculative asset

fair enough, but presumably there is some way to provide this condition on the transfer of a property? (obviously I know nothing about real estate law)
It's common in my area for land sales to have certain conditions written into them so that the place can't be turned into a trailer park or pig farm or whatever.
I've seen land for sale where you weren't actually buying the land (it was in a trust) but you were buying a transferable thousand year lease...
Maybe a different kind of structure such as how they sell a license to use software without the buyer actually owning the software? It just seems like there would be some possible legal structure or strategy for making it where a piece of real estate was effectively taken out of the speculative asset trading game.

Ask management in the leasing office. They will pretend to take note of your request and then do nothing. Why should they? If you move out they can get a new tenant in the apartment the next day and charge them 25+% more for the same unit.

>>2401589
do they know this is happening? it's not like they can associate your displeasure with clogged toilets. you won't achieve your aim but a toilet will be destroyed.

I can't remember all the caveats of foreclosed properties. I thought you couldn't inspect them first, but google just said otherwise.

I do think they're harder to get financing for but shit. $10k isn't exactly a king's ransom.

You shouldn't listen to the defeatist attitudes a la "it's IMPOSSIBLE to get a home!" but you should be realistic about buying a potentially crumbling shithole that you don't have the means to repair. Material costs are high, contractors can be expensive and are hard to nail down right now.

There's also the fact that buying a property is an investment in the neighborhood. Not every hood will magically gentrify. You may not lead a wave of young turks into a neighborhood; you may just buy a house to live next to crackheads for the next 5 years.

That being said, there's got to be opportunities out there. Just do the leg work and learn what you're getting into.

>>2404413
>>2404440
>I would be very surprised if that would be legally binding.
It is, this is how many US municipalities/states construct "affordable housing".
The developer initially enters into an agreement (generally in exchange for a zoning change or similar) with a community to build X% of homes/units to be sold/rented at no more than Y% of the median income level of the area. Then when the property is sold (as it often is immediately upon completion) that restriction remains in the deed. Obviously the encumbrance in the deed reduces the sale price of the house or development.
The problem is that: 1) the cost to construct in urban areas exceeds the sale price with these restrictions and 2) the inclusion of affordable housing drives down the sale price of the unencumbered homes/units, which needed to be higher to offset the cost. So unless you find a developer willing to build at a loss you run into situations where the affordable housing is never completed or built to a lower standard than the unencumbered housing, which in the latter case the governing body of the community generally seeks to prohibit.
The bottom line is that people have unrealistic and unsustainable expectations of lifestyle. They look at the yuppies living downtown in a "walkable" city and believe that everyone should be able to live like that not fully appreciating the cost of the infrastructure needed to bring services to a dense high-rise city center. These are the same people who seek to ban SFH zoning not realizing that multi-family housing costs 3x to build per unit under the assumption that denser = cheaper.
OP is a microcosm of this mentality, he wants his apartment complex to find the one company in town running electric lawn equipment that doesn't work, paying Jose and Jos-B to buy new equipment and then drive back and forth to plug in their chargers at the home office. Then when the complex raises his rents he'll complain about them jewing him.

Because when you run a landscaping business you need your equipment to work a minimum 40 hours per week and not the 1-2 hours per week that consumer electric equipment is designed to operate for.
Let's walk through this from the perspective of the owner of a landscaping business, keeping in mind that most of these guys are owner-operators who have less than 5 employees and seldom have an actual storefront (effectively running their business out of their home).
>be landscaping business owner
>client demands you switch to electric equipment because some retard was pouring concrete in their toilets
>go out and either buy expensive consumer equipment or even more expensive commercial-grade equipment that may or may not exist
>send a crew out or go out yourself to the apartment complex in the morning
>batteries run out halfway though because you are mowing/trimming/blowing an acre of lawn instead of the 1/4 acre that consumer equipment is designed for
>your choice now is to bum a charge off the complex (still waiting an hour for charging time), drive back to your house/office to charge or swap out batteries (keeping in mind that batteries are the most expensive component of the equipment), or carry spares in the truck
>your batteries over time lose their ability to hold a charge, exacerbated by the fact that they go through five full charge/discharge cycles per day
>you now get to replace your entire equipment stock every couple of years assuming that the tools you bought are still compatible with newer-model batteries
The only upside here is that there probably is a critical mass of millennial/zoomer yuppies now who are willing to pay several times the regular cost for landscaping to virtue-signal on TikTok about how they're saving the planet by forcing their Hispanic landscapers to use electric tools. But you'd probably have to give your company a Silicon Valley name like LNDSCPR or something like that.

sock full of quikcrete or a couple handfuls of tampons was what I've always been told for pipe blocking

>LNDSCPR or something like that.
That's mid-2010s tech startup. Now you'd name it something like "weScape" in some soft sans-serif font and pastel colors to look as non-threatening as possible.

>>2405504
>"weScape"
This might confuse the target audience.

Well, you're describing the economic and financial reasons that make creating a "decommodified" housing unattractive, but that's kind of my point.
People keep selling houses for more money than they paid for it because they profit. And the new buyer will do the same thing.

Rentoid socialists could get it together and create their own nonprofit housing developments, but they won't, because they can't get anyone interested in throwing huge money away.
(in truth there are small intentional communities and religious groups who are doing just that, but they're a very small minority)

tldr:

WAAHHH, BOO HOO, BATTERIES SCARY! I NEED SAFE PLACE GASOLINE PACIFIER!


why do gas chuds love sucking opec cock so much?

Definitely don't take a freezer bag of quickcrete and flush it down the toilet, whatever you do, don't do that

>>2402047
so youre admitting that even if the landlord somehow understood that the concrete in his pipes was a threat directly associated with his landscaping, it wouldnt matter because the neighbors are still going to be loud? Youre a fucking moron. Thanks for the service call though

>>2401589
And this is why rent keeps going up.
Rents go up because silly shit like this.
In the end, the landlords ALWAYS win.
I know, I work in the industy.
Extra expenses WILL be paid by the renters.
Stupid people just screwing themselves over.

>Technology works exactly as well as the TV man told me so I think everyone should adopt it even though I have no experience running a business
You'd make a great politician.

I bet you could make a commercial leaf blower run on electric, not a handheld of course, but a big backpack unit. They´re already heavy, but you don´t get a back problem because they´re carry-able.

shouldnt of built your house out of pressed paper.
I swear there is a bible verse about just that.

A couple years ago I had a hebrew prick of a landlord whom refused to help a family member after a pipe upstairs broke and flooded their apartment. The fucknozzle required a renters policy but wouldn't talk to the adjuster so the claim never went forward and thousands of dollars of stuff was ruined and the apartment was uninhabitable.

Anyways assuming the drain lines are pvc, mix one part hot blue pvc glue to eight parts hydraulic cement. Then add just barley enough water to mix it all into something that resembles silly putty. Now, hydraulic cement sets fast and the pipe glue will help fuse it to the inside of the drain line so flush that fucker right away. The volume of toilet water will move the mass a good 15-20 feet which will usually get it to the main trunk line where it can sit and do it's thing. I suggest at least three applications as to give solids in the waste stream a good place to get hung up.

Hydraulic cement will laugh at pipe snakes and high pressure sewer jets and require a tear out of that section to repair.

FUck leaf blowers and retards who use them.
My neighbor pays the landscaping company to mow his lawn and then it takes them like 2 hours to shuffle a few pieces of grass back and forth while making an airport level noise. Every fucking week. Fuck fuck fuck them. They should be illegal.

>>2403896
Its for water proofing. Companies use hydraulic paint sprayers and they drill holes along cracks and inject it with high pressure. It fills cracks and prevents water from coming through.

>>2406492
It sounds like urban living isn't for you.

>>2401589
Start flushing diapers and lacey lingerie

>>2401589
Dress up like the boss of the apartment complex personally hand them electric leaf blowers and tell them that they have to use them near tennents because they got too many complaints. Works even better if you speak Spanish or have someone with you who does . since you'll be speaking to mexicans

>>2406492
can confirm. i was woken up by a leafblower today. it took some guy like half an hour to blow almost 20 small leaves into a corner, where they've already dispersed again. at least snowblowers and chainsaws can be used to successfully accomplish a task.
