I wrote a letter to my city water district when I moved here that protested the use of "penalties" when you go over a baseline of water usage. The city eventually changed the wording. What bothers me is that some Nazi might turn me in for watering the dirt off the cement. Some cities prohibit washing down the pavement. The whole thing stems from the idea that people are not wise enough to monitor the usage of natural resources. So the busybodies in local politics use punishments to make stupid citizens behave correctly. Just one more step toward totalitarianism.

A Councilman said he had admired her garden for years but the article says that it was just beginning to grow.It was probably a wildflower garden that reseeds itself.

Everyone should have a natural lawn permit. Then no one can complain about weeds.

Isn't that the truth? Every town or city has those people that think they can tell everyone else what to do.

no, its more like every town has a busybody that can't mind their business. cops around my town don't much care about the lawn, immobile cars, junk in yards type of stuff, but there's this little old man that retired a few years ago and aparently has taken it upon himself to clean up the town. he spends all day walking around town with his camera, taking pictures of any violation he can find, and delivers them to the police station every week or so.
