Have you all looked closely at some of the rants in this "conversation"?
Here is what I see:
It seems someone is irritated because her next-door neighbors home daycare business is causing traffic issues (and perhaps other issues) that she feels she should not have to contend with. So, rather than doing the civilized thing and walking over one day after care hours are over and politely addressing her concerns with them and trying to reach a compromise that everyone can live with, instead, we are going to see if we can "get them in trouble" with authorities.
Let's stop right there. Everything else is incidental and doesn't really have anything to do with the root cause of this whole thing. Licensed, unlicensed, laws, taxes, abuse, etc. is not really what any of this is about.
This is what it's about: Two wrongs don't make a right.
If the providers business is causing legitimate issues for her neighbor, that's wrong. If the neighbor is attempting to remedy that wrong by causing problems for the provider with authorities, that is also wrong. So, instead of ending up with a situation where everyone feels they've been dealt with fairly and they both work together to solve the problem, they end up with an angry mess that likely festers, gets worse, and ends up causing MORE problems or costing someone money or income.
C'mon folks! Doesn't anyone here see the forest instead of that big fat tree in the way?

There's always light at the end of the tunnel. The hard part is determining if that light is on the front of a locomotive.
