Derry to sharpen lawn regulation – Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The linked story describes a small town dealing with overgrown lawns. The council people are crying over wasted manpower because city crews are mowing instead of “eating more doughnuts I guess”. No one is forcing the city to do this work. They had the bright idea to enforce rules on private property owners in the first place. I know I would not want my neighbor’s property to be knee high in grass but that is not my property. I can put up a fence if i do not want to see it.
Many of the properties that are out of control are likely foreclosures or just people who don’t care about their property. So the idea of raising fines on the overgrown lawns will not work. If someone does not care they won’t pay. Nor will a person who will soon be out of the home anyway.
