1. Neighbor who screams bloody murder at her yakky dogs and plays her music super loud whenever she wants to score (usually sometime around midnight) and hires gardeners who like to throw their garbage into our property.
2. Landlord who rivals Mr. Roper.
3. A house that stinks in many, many ways, literal and metaphorical.
4. Sirens screaming up and down Laurel Canyon, up and down, up and down, up and down...

6. Police helicopters tracking down "Prometheus", the local arsonist.
7. Sun going down two hours earlier than everywhere else because of the hills.
8. The homeless man in the white van who steals water from the front yard.
9. Our Amityville ghost who keeps screaming at me, "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!"
10. All the honking, skidding and crashing right outside the door because idiots drive way too fast down a winding, mountain road, smashing right into the cliff wall.
10 Things I'll Miss
1. The local police officer who advised us to mace anyone who comes to the door.
2. Getting confused and saying Mt Vesuvius instead of Mt Olympus (the hoity-toity suburban development on the hill above us).
