hey keep in mind that your neighbors or neighboring properties do affect your property value.

regardless of whether you have the prettiest privacy fence or not.

Part of my bus. is Lawn Care and Trash removal.
In the city I just moved from they have an ordinance. Grass cannot exceed 1' high or the city will fine them $250.00. I got lots of calls to clear yards. I think more cities should make more laws restricting what you can have in yards. Unsightly yard ornaments, too tall hedges, etc.
P.S., I live in the country, county. can do pretty much what I want there. This far south the county neighborhoods are called colonials and if you want to build and addition, you are only required to get a building permit if you intend on putting in more water or sewerage lines. No codes on building, otherwise.

It does affect property values big time!

I just called the city because a house near me had grass over 2 ft. tall. Nobody lives there right now.

It looks awful and promotes skeeters and fleas.

My child was embarrassed about it when a classmate brought them home from an activity.

Considering many (if not most) socialists are anarchists... Ya, no. You're thinking of fascism and getting confused by too much Fox.

Pro tip, Fox NEVER uses dictionary definitions. NEVER trust them when they start throwing words like socialism or conservatism around.

but it is their yard

if you want no one else to affect you value

then buy the place

So it is more a social stigma than anything.

Have heard of this happening where there is a home owners assoc., a homeowner took his HOA to court and lost.

He'd purchased a pick up - worked on it for years, finally turned it into one of those monster trucks - large wheels etc.

The board voted and he lost his bid to park his vehicle on his driveway, he took them to court and lost!!! That sucks

City Councilman D. Michael Collins calls the ticketing "Mickey Mouse nonsense." He has told residents he'll try to have the citations rescinded.

Mayor Carty Finkbeiner (FINK'-by-ner) says he stands by the citations handed out last week by the Division of Streets, Bridges and Harbor. He says the tickets were issued under a city law against parking on unpaved surfaces, including gravel driveways.

from opening post



these are the kind of things that get passed when ""the people""

do not take their responsibilities to watch their govt seriously

(like going to city council meetings)

It looks horrible. It makes the whole street look bad. How is that a social stigma?

Also, fleas start showing up and skeeters. Mice like it in there too.

if you do not like city life

do not push you wants on others just

do not live in the city

are 'you' saying people should conform and give in without any say??????

YOU?????????????

Lions and tigers and bears oh my! City mice are more likely to set up sho in your home than an over grown lot. Fleas and mosquito are parasites that go where they can find food, in city environment your yard would offer more food.

If we lived under the ocean Winx would expect us to mow the sea weed.
