What part of "it's HER HOUSE" don't you understand, comrade?

The part where her 'garden' impacts the value of her neighbours houses...that is why cities have such ordanances, otherwise as you say to hell with your neighbours everyone could do whatever they wanted, don't mow the lawn for months on end, dump rusted old cars on the driveway... why not, everything goes on 'your property' right?

We all generally take the side of the 'downtrodden' facing the big government bureaucrats, but in this case this lady is being selfish and inconsiderate of her neighbours, if she wants a vegetable garden... put it in the back like everyone else, and replant the sod on her front lawn. Instead she wants the easy way out and expects her neighbours to live with the eyesore.

Spoken like a true collectivist authoritarian...

A vegetable garden isn't exactly tantamount to a rusty old car or an unmowed lawn, now, is it?

Well, did you see the other houses and yards on her block? They appeared in one of the early videos. Unimaginative landscaping on the best and weed filled trash heaps on the the worst.

Did you miss the part of this story where the city started this by tearing up her yard and destroying the existing landscaping by replacing a sewer line?

When choosing a retirement home, one of our top requirements was: No Home Owners’ Association. We had to check out 55 places, but found exactly the right spot in Central Texas. As long as you are minding your own business on your acre of land, people leave you alone.

It is a wonderful way to live, and it’s a shame it is increasingly rare.
