An arrow points from that house toward another house labeled "Me, who is fed up with seeing and hearing their violence" in blue. The second house is also marked with "My driveway" and "My yard" in green and pink, respectively. A third house, above the "Violence" house, is labeled "Their mom/dad." A shared driveway is marked on the left side of the map. Colored arrows indicate the movement of people from the "Violence" house toward the user's property.
