'Nuff said.
Too much government, too many officials looking to throw their weight around.
Julie should get the hell out of the city. I live in a little town about 70 miles west and can do any damn thing I want with my yard. One of my neighbors even has several horses.
Garden Ping!
It is NOT her front yard,unless she is a fake Indian or whatever!
What a fascist loser.I'm sure many would agree that what we don't want to see are these township peons harassing citizens. Hit the pike, pal.
Her FRONT lkawn/vegetable plot probably looks BETTER than 90% of the regular lawns in her neighborhood..
..from my cold, dead and green-stained hands.”
There’s nothing unsightly or unattractive about that front yard. Its actually quite neat and tidy. How much property taxes do they pay? Eff the city govt...they can go suck lemons...probably LIEberals or RINO’s....
if her garden were raised beds of flowers would that make a difference or are flowers banned from front yards too?
Why is this goon from the city of Oak park worried about a veggie garden when there are so many liberal vegetables on the city counsel. So much ignorance, so little time.
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
BS
Some might call Organic Gardeners a cult. Perhaps they could develop an argument that there is a religious component and so must be protected by the First Amendment. Perhaps it is a form of expression, also protected
The City’s actions sure seem to exceed any reasonable restriction upon their use of their land (assuming they own it and they are not selling the produce)
Have they started a defense fund?
That's not what we want to see in a front yard," said Oak Park City Planner Kevin Rulkowski.Oh dear, there go those wacky Republicans with their silly control freak rules again....< /sarcasm >
It looks really nice...she should have just put flowers around the boxes and no one would have been the wiser.
You vill NOT grow die vegetables in ze yard!
Vat is wrong mit you? You tink das constitution means your land belong to YOU???
Soooo...the city would rather she....
have GRASS...so that she can
use more water, use more herbicides, use more fertilizers, use more Mexican lawn care people.....She needs to just finish the job, and plant MORE vegetables and flowers until you can’t see the brown.....and then tell the CITY to go pound sand. At least she doesn’t have broken down cars and junk in the yard....sheesh. (I’ve been associated with HOA’s....they are like little city governments...and SOME members ARE Nazi like)
Agenda 21, which all City Planners consider to be the bible, doesn't want people to be able to grow their own food at all so that when the time comes they can be starved off the face of the earth to create the Walden paradise the ruling class deserves.
The code enforcement clowns go after the easy targets. All of this over a raised bed garden? Plant a few flowers and call it a botanical garden.
