I'm sure many of the loudest of you would soon change your mind when your next door neighbor started to fix up junk cars.

I think you miss the point of some of the backlash about the clipoard ladies. (I assume this is what you are refering to.). Mentioning to a neighbor that their old junker on blocks in their front yard is a code violation, then reporting them if they don't remedy the situation isn't really the issue, imo. Deciding to become Captain Clipboard the pen of Justice, going throughout TV writing up any and every believed violation is not what most people would consider normal behaviour. Indeed, they may think some twisted vengence nut is wandering through TV and wanting to make everyone else as miserable as they must be. The Captain becomes a nuisance, like a self-proclaimed police officer calling for police backup as they prowl the city looking for any and every thing that might or might not actually be an infraction. The Captain Clipboard is no longer a helpful citizen, he/she has become a vigilante muckraker or witch hunter, creating an air of consternation over who might be spying on us and what might they report about us. Captain Clipboard needs another hobby. May I suggest golf. The good Captain could report those who didn't replace their divots, didn't rake the sand properly or walked in someone's line when putting. I'm sure all the golfers would love the help in improving their life on the course.
Just a thought.
