Surely nothing like this could happen in Leaside! A neighbor, on the prowl for minor bylaw infractions like fence heights, hedge thickness. It’s happening in the ward of Scarborough Centre. It won’t be long before the so far unnamed “vexatious” complainer who has reported many of his neighbors in violation cases will be unmasked. The story’s author, Rachael Mendleson, is writing in the Toronto Star. She has pulled a few punches so far because it is pretty clear at least some of the victims know their accuser. The City also knows but is typically all wrapped up in zero-tolerance, high-privacy mumbo jumbo. Ms. Mendleson is also rather cheap with information on the location . Scarborough Centre is a huge area. It seems likely this is much more localized than Scarborough Centre and starts with someone who was caught on a violation and is now retaliating.
