    One of my biggest disappointments with my neighborhood is that the otherwise effectively non-existant HOA came down on someone with a beautiful “cottage garden” style space in their front yard. It was traditionally wild local flowers and it wasn’t unkempt by any stretch.

    I think they just disliked that so much of the person’s front yard wasn’t grass. Or there was some petty personal beef going on.

    It’s even more ridiculous when we have a “community beekeeper” with hives in the back of some of the community open spaces. We have people with vegetable gardens in their back yards (hell fucking yes) when it’s explicitly against the HOA rules (I ain’t no snitch). But god forbid someone have well kept local wildflowers and mulch as half of their front yard.

    With my yard layout I had hoped to do the same with my front and side yard.
