So much for freedom. More like insanity.

They did it to @ least two families in Sacramento that I know of recently. One knuckled under quick & the other fought it for a while.......
The fighters had the O' white picket fence around the yard w/ roses & all that... They had several veggies growing (where grass once grew) there for over two years............ Then one of their neighbors turned them in & the battle began........ I don't recall exactly how long it went on but in the end they gave up........
This concept of the front lawn/yard began (from what I heard) in new York back in the 50's w/ one builder & it became the norm for track homes & of course everyone else had to do the exact same concept.....
There have been some changes recently in my area back to a time that predated that but it is the exception rather than the rule.. Americans pride ourselves on our individualist nature. But that illusion lives on only in our minds..........
Now go mow the lawn & pull those weeds before the neighbors start bitching..............lol
