Cutting your grass is getting expesive. I mowed my yard the other day, myself, I mowed it, It was $12 of gas and 2 hours and it was well over 100 degrees. Next time Ill just burn it. itll be cheaper
As a pretty strong Libertarian (one of my friends will often try to introduce me as a Libertarian Revolutionary), I think this is within the gov't power. The reasoning for this has little to do with property values or the eyesores.That many be true, but its not the government business to tell folks to do it.
I have a client who does this. I lose it every time I drive by their house. I will warn insurance companies are not real big on this simply b/c they run everything off of statistics and there are not many available for astro turf (how likely someone is to trip etc.)Ever think of using Astro-Turf?
The ordinance in our town is twice a year for residential nad there isn't one for business/industry. After a particularly drastic tornado in '74 (see if anyone figures out where I live) my Grandfather decided to rebuild his business in an area zoned residential(all the houses were flattened at this point). The city manager warned him about the change and he just laughed and said once in January once in February.EVERY 2 weeks? Oh Cmon!! How about every year! Ill mow my grass at least every year.
When neighborhoods go into maintenance decline, there is a common correspondence with a crime incline.
yes... especially when you make maintenance decline a crime.
Pay now...or pay later. Your choice.
last i checked there was tall grass in the field behind my house.
I live on the edge of the worst part of ny city
why then do i have to listen to the police helicopter circling my building weekly?
Im not saying that at all. I'm saying the government putting people in jail for tall grass is insane. Home owners associations and their liens along with fines for violating ordinances.... ok. But jail time is too far.
I mean, we had a neighbor that didn't cut his grass. What did I do? I went and cut it for him.
