All bar owners have bubble machines?

As the homeowner it was his responsibility to do his due diligence on the neighborhood and the property he was purchasing.

Is it reasonable to have a bubble machine outside your property that causes issues on other peoples property?

Don't be obtuse.

The bar owner was using the bubble machine well before the VP of the Cafe du Monde purchased the property.

So yes, he was behaving exactly as he always had.

If I were to constantly be slinging soap on my neighbor's property, I have no doubt if I were asked to stop and refused, I would be facing police or a court summons.

Don't care that the bar has been doing it for years. The principle is the principle: keep your shite on your own property.

Relative to all the other unreasonable shite that goes in the FQ?

Ordinarily, the answer would be "no" of course, but this is the FQ and he had already been doing it so the buyer better get a car cover.

Let it be known that I hate bubbles and think they're stupid but in this case I side with the bar.

If someone buys a condo facing Cafe du Monde and objects to the smell (no aroma, smell) of fried dough 24 hours a day every day, can he sue?

I don't think it matters that the bar owner has been doing this for years. I don't think it matters whether the homeowner knew or should have known about the bubbles before purchasing the property.

It doesn't appear that the homeowner is alleging any physical damage to his home or his person. He alleges it interferes with drinking cocktails on his patio and damages his car.

He parks on the street with other cars. Is his parking place part of his home or public parking? Is it a reserved spot only for him or does he park wherever there is an empty spot near his home?

He probably won't be parking on the street anytime soon. He will probably be a big target for vandalism after all this. The folks on Reddit seemed riled up.

Location location location. It’s the French Quarter and that means crowds, parties and all the shite that goes on there on a daily basis. Again he knows the area, it’s not a mystery to anyone. You can’t be upset by the smell of piss and puke, music and drunk party goers. It’s bubbles and it fits right in with the area. If you don’t want to deal with everything that comes with that area, don’t buy a property there.

All of the properties in question are damn near on the same block.

The selfish one is the guy who's spraying stuff into the air that he knows is leaving the confines of his property and landing on his neighbors property causing damage and inconvenience to the neighbors.

He's claiming that it's causing damage to his car, but his car is not on his property, if you look at the street view of the address there is no private parking. It's public street parking.

The bubbles are ridiculous. Not only do they screw up his car but everyone else's too.


Executive moves to French Quarter because of business and neighborhood. Executive then suddenly complains about neighborhood and businesses.

More at 10:00.

This sounds like a case of poor judgement by said executive. Who moves to the quarter and doesn't know what goes on there? If he thinks that's bad wait for Mardi gras.

Executives make dumb decisions too. They just have more money to throw at it, and get more publicity depending on level of stupidity.
