Sadly, the party house is over 21 -- over 25 as a matter of fact. I don't know how noisy they are, just that there is always a crew over there and booze seems to be high on the list of things to do. If they were my neighbors, I'd definitely do everything possible to make life miserable for the young man who lives there.
As to the vandals, I'm never sure if I want to paddle the kids doing the vandalizing or the parents who don't seem to care enough to step up and be responsible for their kids' actions. I do understand that there is only so much parents can control, but they could at least stand up and apologize for their kids rather deny their kids did it or get angry at the messenger.
Personally, I'd like to see the kids doing the misdeeds be forced to (1) clean up their mess and (2) work for at least one day doing landscaping. It might give them some respect for those who have to clean up their messes.
