We all know taste is subjective and varies widely. I like the complaint driven system because it allows some decorations yet those who don't like looking at them can have them removed by complaining. I would love to see the rules changed to restrict complaints to residents living on the same street since they are the ones who see the decorations everyday. Most neighbors get along which would eliminate these nuisance vendetta driven purges we are seeing. (This should bring a hailstorm of comments)
I agree. Living in one village and filing complaints in another shouldn't even be on the table. As for the people doing this, I wonder how much time they have on their hands to study all the variances for the different districts and driving all over to record this. Sounds to me like they retired far to early.
