Agreed. But... who is "we"? I think it should be up to the powers that be to consistently enforce the rules, and not leave it up to the residents to have to complain to someone who will then arbitrarily decide whether or not to enforce said rules (a la the "bushes on top of the berm" issue.)
Then we wouldn't have bits and pieces of stuff ignored here, and similar bits and pieces of stuff not ignored there, in the same neighborhood. I am simply not going to bring grief upon my neighbors unless it's a serious issue. At the same time, I would not be happy with the aggregate, piece-by-piece degradation of the neighborhood's property values due to restriction violations that were left unchallenged.
If you're gonna have rules, have enforcement in place. I still say it's passing the buck to put this on the homeowners.
