garden police gone wild?
No different than the "garden police".
sigh I'm so grateful I don't have a "neighborhood association"/home nazi's in my subdivision. I purposely bought where I did *because* there isn't one. I have a basketball hoop for my son who doesn't play with it much anymore, as do my neighbors. Also have a swing set at the rear that was smashed by tree branches in the ice storm. Haven't figured out how to remove the concrete set pieces yet and being I'm a single mom, I don't have anyone to help me. I'm sure there are more than a few violations of the home nazi's at my house. Just my 2 cents......... Christine Just to give you a clue: The Nazi's killed millions of people. Please use your terminology correctly. We have no homeowners or neighborhood association. There is nothing formal. However, the homes in here are not box houses made of tin cans with cellophane windows. The people in here signed on the line whereby they agreed to certain deed restrictions and these can and will be enforced by a civil hearing. I am not a conventional gardener. I have wildflowers everywhere in full death, but I leave them so they set and ripen seed. My sidewalk strip has no turf, but a hedge of Gaura lindheimerii and datura. I believe in orderly chaos as a garden style. However, I respect those in here who signed on the dotted line to maintain a nicely kept front yard. If that's too hard for you to understand, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry for you. Following this thread and the concerns you express show your own insecurities and issues. I was with you on the hanging venison (my own personal opinion), but then you strayed into all the "transgressions" that you feel "lower your property value". As an after thought, you threw in a highly inflammatory comment on incest because you received criticism for your complaints about unsightly (for you) basketball hoops, boats, the "trash heap" of his yard, etc. You also show unfailing elitism by referring to "trailer homes". Obviously the man had enough money to purchase the house in YOUR neighborhood in the first place. Instead of "working on gathering information", perhaps that young girl would be best served by your relating your suspicions to the proper authorities and allowing THEM to investigate immediately instead of (if this is actually happening) continuing the silence that needs to be broken. Seems to me the more important thing (than the way his property affects you) is the child. Isn't that the better high road than worrying about his "trash heap"? "In 50 years, it will not matter what type of car I drove, the house I lived in, the money I had. What will matter is that I was important in the life of a child..." Please recheck your priorities AND motives. Just my 2 cents......... Christine |
