John Davis Ferron and his wife moved to the Village of St. James in 2020.
They loved their new home, including two “very nice looking cranes” already in their front planter. The birds were placed there by the previous owner and had been there for years.
Then came the dreaded knock on the front door by Community Standards. An anonymous complaint had been received about the birds.
The couple grudingly removed the cranes.
“However, many of our neighbors who also have cranes and other decor in there front yards are unaffected,” he said.
Ferron said it’s a perfect example as to why anonymous complaints should be eliminated.
The Village of St. James is located in Community Development District 8. That board of supervisors has decided to delay any discussion of potentially ending the acceptance of anonymous complaints, due to a longstanding legal battle over a little white cross in the Village of Tamarind Grove.
The Community Development District 5 Board of Supervisors recently reviewed data after opting to end anonymous complaints about a year ago. CDD 5 Board Chairman Gary Kadow has declared the one-year experiment a success.
More and more Villagers say it’s time to stop accepting anonymous complaints.

Well, I could see a little one, but not two!...............
Snitches get stitches…nomsayin’?
If people had to go on record as a Karen/Ken, they’d be more apt to be less nit-picky.
I would never buy a home in a homeowners association place
Put a couple of pigs there now.
Gnome Sane?
But I suppose if you hail from a Big Blue Democrat City, then even a benign prison looks better. At least there are no bums or drug addicts pitching their tents on your street.
Karen moved in.
Bummer.
They infect their new nest with the very plague they sought to escape.
Aight, bet…
We will need Barbara Billingsley for further interaction.
I hate anonymous snitches. At my previous employer, I had someone rat me out for not wearing a mask going to and from the men’s room. There was less than 30 feet I had to wear the mask (from my office to the office suite exit), and I didn’t even pass occupied offices on my route.
I’ve always believed that whoever came up w/the idea of HOAs for single family homes was a commie laying the ground work for their system over here.
In commie world, everyone has to go to their local commisar, or what not, for their state supplied goodies - they decided who among the community was the next to get a television for example.
The HOA board would be the logical choice of commisar committee once communism was fully implemented in the US.
That’s ridiculous.
I’m so glad I’m remote now. No HR BS.
Hmmm...
Elon is probably going to get in trouble with the serf snitches living around Cape Canaveral...
In such situations, take the fifth.
No HOA in my neighborhood. I can park on my front lawn if I choose. I don’t, but some of my neighbors do. No one cares. It’s great! And it’s a really nice neighborhood where we enjoy freedom from harassment.
Yeah, my new job is 100% remote now as well.
I started looking for a new job the day HR called me about the snitch.
Actually, I asked them what my severance package would be.
The targets should have fought the complaint by pointing out the other longtime, non-compliant decorations and asking for a variance for themselves and all others. They could have also asked for a review and mediation by the State of Florida. My guess is that they would have won.
