Thanks to anonymous reporting, anyone can report anyone, for anything, whether it's an actual violation or not, and get away with it. Every single time.
Perhaps Jazuela, you know better than I if the deed restriction people report the number of reports they have received from one person to the public. I have never heard they reported it to the community. The last time I reported someone who had a battalion of flower pots on top of cement blocks covering their entire driveway on both sides, the fellow who took the call was very talkative. (I thought he was too forthcoming, to be frank) They do of course check out each report and if there is no broken rule, no infringement. NOTHING HAPPENS. NO letter, no warning and no fine.

We had friends who had a Hillary sign out in their front yard before the last election. Someone reported them and they had to put it inside. Many times people get permission for some ornaments. Some are very lovely.

I am pleased to hear when someone reports a deed restriction. It keeps the whole area looking nice.

People get themselves all riled up about a slew of things. I remember when someone on this Forum was beefing about older people driving Corvettes.
