He moved, I didn't.

He was temporary, I was permanent.

The "problem" solved itself.

We have several of those temporary neighbors here, too. I wish the one next to me was a renter. Or, maybe I don't. I suppose having a new neighbor every year or so has it's downsides, too. You never know what you're going to get. Although, rent is so high now, renters pay more than most owners pay on their mortgages here. In my case, renting a house here is double what I pay in mortgage.

All the houses in my neighbourhood have sold to some kind of commercial endeavor. Rental or airbnb.

A lot of people live here but no one "LIVES" here.
