The question is ..... if we don't rely on the complaint-driven process by residents in the neighborhood (which is basically free), then how do you suggest we "catch" the infractions?

It would require a lot of full-time staff to police each community on a daily basis, to write up infractions, issue citations, collect fines, follow-up on non-payers, keep track of when homeowners put up seasonal decorations and take them down, etc.

Are you willing to pay higher amenities to have ongoing patrols of each and every Village?
