The site allows citizens to report things like potholes and damaged street lights, or give suggestions on how to improve a city. Seems like a good idea to me, as I don&rsquo;t expect a city government to know about every crack in the sidewalk.</p>
<p>However, a few comments listed in East Lansing were about aggressive drivers. So a site whose purpose is to improve a city is being used to report driving that does not please other citizens, complete with license plate numbers.</p>
<p>What about loud music? Would a neighbor who listened to rap music be a worthy addition to the site? Pink flamingos in the lawn? What if someone backed out of the driveway and didn't look both way. Should that person be reported as a menace to society? Should their address and photo be posted like they were a sex offender?</p>
