The OP expressed anger and so it would appear that if Deed Compliance was required to identify complainants that people like the OP would be confronting them.
Deed Compliance does have to be residents driven because it is our community, because there has to be a complaint before action can be undertaken and because the people who readily see the problems are the people living in the area.
For the sake of perspective how many residents receive compliments about the care of their properties. People by nature rather pay a compliment than criticize. Residents who fail to take care for their property place their neighbors in a very bad position.
With the purchase of my first home there was a next door neighbor of mine
whose actual quote about removal of snow was "God put it there God can take it away" It caused havoc . He never mowed his lawn until one day when talking with my neighbors we heard a lawn mower. sure enough he came around the back mowed right down the middle of his back yard, disappeared and then there was silence. He re-appeared with a putter and golf ball and proceeded to practice his putting where he had mowed one strip down the middle of his back yard. My neighbors and I could have used Deed Compliance back then
So in my view I like Deed Compliance and I want them to come down hard on violators or we are going to find some residents who will end up parking their cars on blocks in their driveways
