Matthew 18:15-18 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
How do we decide what the sins against us are?
A few ideas: irresponsible clearing and leveling of land, excessive lighting (power waste, light pollution), dangerous traffic patterns (Crossroads), lack of innovation ("Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth" Isaiah 42:10), oppresive signage (Can we use the 4th ammendment? Maybe it's a stretch, maybe not.)
Who do we talk to?

Town ordinances often backfire and create loopholes. Make it a point of personal responsibility instead.
Go alone, then go with friends, go with your church, boycott.
