I'm not making this up. See it for yourself here.
Not all tyranny comes from Washington, DC. Some think that local government is harmless until something like this comes out. This is what happens when we let the government trample property rights. Why is they city of Canton even looking at people's lawns?
A better solution is a private one. Where I live we have a homeowners association (HOA) that takes care of all landscaping chores. My wife and I pay our dues, as we voluntarily agreed to do when we bought the house, and the HOA takes care of things. It works well. To the best of my knowledge everybody pays their dues and nobody's going to jail.
The big cities need to look at forming HOAs in their neighborhoods. Not only will property rights be respected, but costs reduced.
