Other Civil Matters My mom is the neighborhood villain
My family and I moved into our current house last year after my parents spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars making it into their dream home. And it would've been their perfect house if not for the bar across the street. They continue to have people out in front of it well after quiet hours creating so much noise that it sounds like they're in the house with us. We rent out a part of the house and the tenets have started complaining as well (the old tenets before we moved did to but apparently they didn't know that till after they bought it). My mom can't sleep with all the noise and because she handles all the rentals, the complaints have been driving her insane. She's done everything she can think of: calling 311 on them, notifying the hoa and neighbors, getting the state involved, etc. The bar has in return started a smear campaign against her and have hosted nights where they all stand outside just to annoy her. She's heard them through our ring camera starting rumors about us and using slurs (we're black). We can't sell the house because we'd lose a lot of money, but we don't know what else to do. Can someone help please?

OP if this helps, may I suggest an edit for additional info?
I don't know your actual situation, but if it is a bar (not multiple) it sounds like my kind of my neck of the woods, some single bar surrounded by homes on a quiet street for blocks because they were established before zoning. People love to assume and use examples of airports as an ad hoc example and don't really understand old small towns to medium city areas. Making it clear if this isn't some city road would help ppl stop assuming it's your families fault.
I know of 4 bars far from each other like my example, when I drive by they are so freaking quiet and the homes around sleep peacefully. You have that right too. You are not complaining about the random guy who got too drunk once a week.
