Maybe theres a history here. a huge display every year maybe really obnoxious and disruptive and people have tried to address it but this person doesn't listen. maybe.

Ah yes, those obnoxious and disruptive...Christmas lights. That's a complaint I can't take seriously unless you also support slashing tires on dirt bikes, ATVs, and modified exhaust cars.

My neighbors have a Christmas display that is accompanied by a loop of 20 Christmas song clips that loudly play for hours every evening in December. It can be heard from inside our apartment. We tolerate it because they seem to be nice people and I generally appreciate their other seasonal decorating efforts, but I would 100% understand if this caused someone who doesn't fully appreciate "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to snap.

But the point is that yes, obnoxious and disruptive decorating absolutely exists.

have you seen some of the displays people do these days? Music, animatronics, synchronized light shows. Plenty of stories over the years of over the top displays drawing onlookers that disrupt a neighborhood and turns into big fight between neighbors. not that unreasonable a possibility to me.

I don't think Jersey City has anything on this level. If so, where? I'd love to go. Much closer than Old Bridge.

For sure. Not saying I knew of anything, just that it’s possible. Not much info to go on. Seems very aggressive and deliberate for a random act. Somehow I guess just raising the possibility is interpreted as me condoning it.

Yeah, not sure why you are getting downvoted to badly. You are not wrong... tons of headlines of exactly this happening all over the US. Years of bad communications between neighbors related to massive displays or other grievances can result in some serious shit.

I lived on NY Ave for years and still walk there regularly, I've never seen a display like that.
