If someone sets up a tent on the "wild" side of our back fence,

You've got a new neighbor, act appropriately.
But *is* he a "neighbor"? Or, just someone who happens to
be sleeping nearby?
"Neighbors" make a commitment to the neighborhood and
adopt the practices and customs of THEIR neighbors.
"A guy in a tent" makes no such investment.
He does if he's got any sense. He's violated a community norm in not spending a lot of money on his accommodation, but if you haven't got that kind of money it pays to work harder on keeping your neighbors happy.
