This is not an issue of jealousy nor race. Stop automatically pulling the race card on any disagreement that happens to be between people of different races, Americans.
The neighbors are upset because they live in a nice upscale-looking neighborhood and now they have a legal 'squatter' next door living with no utilities in an unfurnished house third world-style which completely clashes with the mode of life in this neighborhood and makes it feel trashy and strange.
Yes, he attained the house lawfully and deserves it. However, the law under which he bought it is silly in the first place and should have been reformed long ago.
Obviously right now he is an outsider to the neighborhood and the neighbors are wary, but I am sure they can eventually warm up. For his sake and that of his neighbors, I hope he is at least overly polite to everyone, mows the lawn, and keeps the house in a presentable shape. Whether he wins his neighbors over or not is entirely unto him. If he is a jerk though and starts doing things to spite his neighbors on purpose then I hope the Homeowners Association Suburbia Mom Terror Squad will retaliate.
