Look, I freaking HATE government enforcement. I am the last person who wants
more government. (Hell, I'd be thrilled if they'd
just do what they were meant to do, in their own Statutes, etc.)
But given the lack of common courtesy, decency and neighborliness that I've seen, over the past 20-ish years, and the economic and brain-damaging reality that I've experienced, in terms of having to
sue someone to make them do something about their cursed dog...honestly, it's a horror show. I mean, think about it--having to SUE someone, over their damned dog?
I would
infinitely rather walk down to someone's house, knock on the door (which we tried, BTW, with the Evil Homeowner #1 and then with #2 guy, the latter of which was responsive, the former not
remotely), than call some enforcement agency, but when they effectively flip you off...what are your choices? It's call some code enforcement dude or cop, or sue. That's about all you can do. Or suffer. (And once you're stuck in that situation, lotsa luck selling your place.)
