4. I have a plan for chronic Whiners

Living in a condo association, and serving as an unpaid board member of the association, I have lost too much useful time dealing with people who cannot accept NO for an answer.

I'm crafting a new policy for the board that says that after 2 denials from the board, staff will no longer have to process or even accept further iterations.

Of course, this is feasible because it's an incorporated community. If a whiner wants to change the policy, she will have to run and serve herself. Then maybe she'll have something worthy of whining about.

Your friend needs a PR campaign, support from outside, with suggestions that the neighbors provide themselves with some visual screen on their own property and nickel.

Some people will bitch at anything.
