This story has mature language.
Kane Blake is at his witâs end.
After constant harassment from a neighbour and concern for his childrenâs safety, he decided to sell his house.
In his front yard sits a sign which reads âHome for Sale, by Owner, Because Neighbor is an Asshole.â
The Âé¶čAV resident said bylaw and RCMP are constantly at his house, located in Springvalley, because of an unruly neighbour who has been harassing most of the neighbourhood.
He created the $40 sign to retaliate, saying heâs tried being kind and ignoring the neighbour, but the harassment has continued since his family moved in five years ago.
The neighbour was caught taking photos of Blakeâs house, which has him concerned for his underaged children, he said.
âMy kids wonât even walk to school, theyâre terrified.â
The RCMP and the city have also done nothing, he said.
âI was already dealing with bylaw this morning, on two separate things,â he said. âThey donât go away and neither does the RCMP, they may as well put the detachments in our neighbourhood.â
Blake said other neighbours have been encouraging of the sign and heâs received positive feedback from them.
Since the signâs creation three days ago, heâs had two offers on the house because of it.
