The trouble starts (again just in my opinion) when people who live far away and don’t in their daily life pass your house - start complaining.
I have a question for those who seem upset by the troll reporters, would you rather that we paid more in amenity fees to hire these bylaw officers to tell us the same thing as the “trolls”?

46 complaints from one person? Is that what the system was supposed to be? Or was it in place to protect the neighborhood and help nearby homes protect their investment from broken down trucks, out of control landscaping, mold on a house, hacienda walls too high or too close to a neighbor? Having 1 or 2 complaints from a concerned neighbor is, in my opinion, what the system was intended for, not a long, randomly selected list of 46 items from a person who may not even live nearby.
