Before anybody derides this as nothing but vanity self-assortment through political identity... the real tragedy is that we are also living in an era where sometimes people ought to be checking these things.
For example, a prospective buyer might not be able to fully leave a state like Texas, where bad neighbors could be self-deputized informants for the Pregnancy Gestapo, spying on your family while motivated by a desire to "punish the wicked women" and/or taking $10,000 of your money.
So the politics of your immediate neighbors are no longer purely about whether you might be friends or what campaign-ads you do/don't like to see on lawns.

- Terr_ 2y agoSimilar, although it does differ in (A) no government reward and (B) the conduct could affect the reporter's safety. So I'd say that lands closer to a third scenario: Calling the local fire department because you think your neighbor's backyard bonfire is unsafe.
