To be clear, I have never been in that position in my hood, but I imagine some people have.

So, about how to solve?
  • I do not wish to pay more fees.
  • I do not think there is a major problem to solve.

If it is deemed a major problem, then as I said before, maybe the folks that drive around in community watch could ‘anonymously’ leave a complaint the same way a neighbor would. Not for every garden ornament, maybe just start out with washing machine planters, cars on blocks, etc.

How about volunteers? I bet there are a whole lot of folks that would like to be given a ‘deed restriction deputy badge’ (I am not one of them).

If we believe that having community watch add complaints will overwhelm the existing system, then what does that say about the current enforcement?

Anyway… just chatting over coffee, the world looks good from where I am at..
Community Watch once had the responsibility of pointing out deed restrictions.
