It’s no small wonder you feel that the sense of community has disappeared, as you have written in the past. I think you are neither of these TV characters, although either would be preferable to what you endure in actual reality. It seems what you describe can be summed up in two words: greed and selfishness. And there is a descriptor for your “investor” and “artist” neighbors: jerks. There’s also an eight letter word that begins with an a and ends with s (for the plural form). I’m pretty sure both of these homeowners feel it’s their right to do the things they do and act the way they act. And it’s very likely they think you have no right to object to what they do because life is all about them.
Endora. However, I think you may have to borrow from Dr Evil soon.

You are correct. All of the above.
You made me snort! Twice! I’m sorry that you have to endure these unanticipated challenges. But, they do provide the basis of a wonderful piece.
