to neighbors whining pets please remember that we're all in this together. Their whining animals are your whining animals. We need to happily endure it together.

And in the future, when "our" dog that the neighbor happens to keep on their property starts pooping on your lawn, just remember it's not really your lawn anyway, we're all in it together. Just send your kids to poop on their lawn because it's really not a big deal and you're an awful neighbor if you don't want to happily endure the growing pains of everyone's new dog.

Nevermind privacy, that's old school and old fashioned. If we really want to enjoy the fruits of Progress we must learn to appreciate that we didn't build and earn what we have anyway and our neighbors problems are our problems.
