... I would never, ever do that.

A sibling, sure. But a neighbour? Hell no. If I haven't seen you get born, you sure are not getting unlimited access to where I live.

Why trust your family? As Biggie said-

  Number 3: never trust nobody
  Your moms'll set that ass up, properly gassed up
  Hoodied and masked up, shit, for that fast buck
  She be laying in the bushes to light that ass up

To counter your Biggie lyric with a Kanye lyric:

See you're, unbreakable, unmistakable / Highly capable, lady that's makin loot / A livin legend too, just look at what heaven do / Send us an angel, and I thank you

This seems sad to me. You don't have a single neighbor you'd trust with a key to your house?
Nope. I can't even trust them not to burn their apartment down. There is no way I would let them have access to mine. I don't even know most of them. That being said, I don't live somewhere where having a relation with your neighbours is common.
Older siblings and parents are right out, huh?
... it was a figure of speech. I have actually never seen anyone get born. I was talking about the sibling-like relationship you can get with people that are close to you.

Sure, if one of my close friend is also my neighbour, I would let him take care of my house. But it would be on the basis of him being my friend, not my neighbour.

Sigh... I really wish I didn't have to restrict my self entirely to the use of phrases like "trusted entity" to avoid the excruciating minutia of debates like this.
