Well, it was quite a game, wasn't it?

That might be the beginning of a conversation that might lead to some better understanding between you. Break the ice and, if the opportunity presents itself, you might inquire if there's some "dead elephant in the living room" that you're (both) tip-toeing around.

If he's a jerk, you're not going to be able to change him. However, you might at least gain some insights into avoiding getting caught up in his issues.

Then again, you could be like many other Angelenos (and others) and just ignore your neighbors.
