Does this seem fair to you?

I am not in favor of anonymous complaints, which is a good thing since I happen to live in
CDD 5. When I drive around I sometimes see things I suspect are not in compliance, but look nice, and one such example is a flower bed with a couple of metal sandhill cranes. I have often gone by there and thought "Gee, I hope the anonymous clipboard ladies don't complain about that"...
I think complaining anonymously is cowardly. If you can't look a person in the eye and politely explain why you want them to change something, maybe you are nitpicking and should find something else to worry about.
