I just looked it up. You are correct. If it is visible from the street it is not allowed.

You should petition the city council to have that changed. I have seen very realistic fake grass around town. The only way to can tell from afar is in the winter- it's the only green lawn on the block.

Golfing on zero-scaping will be fun...

? total investment for their 800 square foot front yard turf installation was just under $11,000?

My back yard alone would be roughly $140,000 the front yard probably another $14,000. With a total investment of $154,000 not sure I?d ever see a cost savings versus watering in my lifetime.

It is obvious you own way too much land.

You should donate most of it back to the city so they can utilize it as a homeless encampment, you dirty selfish capitalist.

You would think with the drought we?ve been in forever and the ever increasing worries about water shortages they would be encouraging and incentivizing artificial turf these days. The artificial turf they have these days is pretty swanky and other than the year round robust green color you almost couldn?t tell it apart from the real stuff without actually touching it.

Obviously you?ve seen my neighbors lawn. The sad thing is from the street their lawn looks nicer than mine because it?s greener.

If you only knew the things I say I am not supposed to...

Because there's so many people living in houses in this mobile home park. Management is now allowing them to expand parking areas by adding concrete parking places at their homes for overflow. Grass areas are disappearing at homes.
