Study: San Diego has annoying neighbors

Are your neighbors giving you grey hairs? If you answered yes, you are not alone. A new study placed San Diego high on a list of U.S. cities with the most annoying neighbors.

CLAIREMONT (NEWS 8) – Are your neighbors giving you grey hairs? If you answered yes, you are not alone. A new study placed San Diego high on a list of U.S. cities with the most annoying neighbors.

A company called Digital Third Coast alongside home improvement site Improve Net surveyed 2,500 people from two dozen cities across the nation to find out how people felt about their neighbors.

When it comes to the city with the most annoying neighbors, San Diego ranked number ten while Dallas came in at number one.

Andy Kerns is the creative director at Digital Third Coast. He said the study is not only a fun way to compare, but it could also teach the public a lesson. “It’s a little bit of an educational piece in that some people are not aware in the ways they annoy their neighbor. So maybe, they are the problem.”

So, what exactly annoys San Diegans? America’s Finest City ranked one when it came to obstructed views and property damage.

San Diego came in second behind San Antonio when it came to confront neighbors – whether it was face-to-face or via a call to the police.

According to Kern, climate played a role in the results. “If someone is spending more time outdoors, it is a nice climate. Like in San Diego, they are naturally going to be little bit more active compared to Minneapolis where people are cold and people are isolated a lot of the year.”

How to be less annoying? Clean up after yourself and don’t block people’s views.
