It's weird how now Ring requires having to add a valid address/location for the doorbell, I remember first configuring it 2 years ago when I didn't have to add an address. Anyway, so I went and typed the name of a nearby large boulevard and selected the first suggested address. Then I started getting all those stupid neighborhood notifications because people are paranoid and report "someone walking on the sidewalk" as suspicious, so I went and editing the neighborhood range around the address to be as small as possible (I was able to zoom in to house level size), now it blissfully stopped sending any notifications.

I wish more people gave it crappy information/address.
