Is A Publication Not a Local Newspaper?":
"I envy anyone that finds
the state of their neighbour's lawn to be cause for concern or a source of
frustration. You are living a very fortunate life, indeed."
Perhaps you
are one of those that takes no pride in their own lawn. I don't consider myself
fortunate at all.
I work hard to pull weeds, cut the grass and make the
lawn healthy with a continuous maze of new regulations. The look of the lawn
compliments the house and makes the value (perceived or in reality) higher. Then
you have neighbours that do not share the same priority - hell they don't even
come outside except to get into their cars. Their lawns look like crap, their
weeds propogate onto your lawn and soon you cannot keep up. Now, my property
value is in the dumper.
What happened to community standards?

Maybe, you are envied because you are fortunate enough to have a lawn to care about.

We always liked to see the British system which allowed people without a bit of land to have a garden plot outside of town where they could putter & chat. There is something similar in Vancouver. We could try it in Aurora around that old pet burial ground except that one of our rip-off artists would try to turn it into a cash cow.
2 Ontario by-elections coming up tomorrow. Hopefully we can handle that without anyone getting shot.
Aurora's by-law enforcement officers are toothless. Did anyone receive a call about sneaking water out to their plants and trees? Has anyone been told to cut the bloody grass and weeds? Did they take out that illegal fence around the park? All on paper - not even given a glance unless it is complaint- driven. Which means taxpayers do the enforcing. Bummer, eh?
