I think it is better to expose these things and get them fixed ASAP rather than keep them to yourself or try reporting them to someone who won't listen. Some of the best ways to resolve something quickly is to make it public knowledge.

I could call the city or township every day for a month about some pot holes and see nothing get done. If I went to the local news station, they'd have a truck out there with asphalt patch for the news van to see them laying it down.
