When Your Neighbour’s Home Becomes a Biohazard Zone
Where the floor disappears and hazmat suits are mandatory.
If you've ever been invited into someone else's home, you must have been able to get inside. If you were invited in but might have only been able to push the door ajar like some of the neighbours homes I have had the unfortunate opportunity to experience, and you might have as well, something's seriously wrong.
There was one neighbour I had, that upon using force just to open their door because of the garbage behind it, would greet you in a way... that I will not even state - it's not appropriate enough for this blog's content.
"Come in! Don't mind everything after the first step inside... including me!"
Their apartment had more than just hoarded junk, their apartment was an ecosystem for their flying and crawling pets that you'd be stepping on and swatting while just standing there! If you've ever wanted to see Betelgeuse, you would take the first step into that apartment.
When you joke that you need a hazmat suit to enter someone's home... it's probably not as much of a joke as it may seem. Some homes where a hoarder resides make Chernobyl look like a problem that can be brushed off the shoulder.
But anyways...
Hoarding can be a serious issue in many more ways than one, and often times, depending on the location, for example, an apartment building or shared residency, it can also affect others. If you or someone else you know has a hoarding issue, recognize it before it gets out of hand, identify the person's psychology (the why) behind it, and get the attention you or they need.
A simple AI chat or Google search, or a professional or government service, can aid in yielding the start to the solution.

This neighbour didn't get his food delivered, instead he'd collect it off everyone in the building:
