    yes, and? Your desire to have a big hecking floofy pupper who is just soooo happy and needs to share with everyone at 5 in the morning does not override my reasonable expectation of being able to sleep during quiet hours.

      My back yard is overgrown really bad right now and the neighbor with the dogs has been doing his passive aggressive best to get me to act. I think I may find some goats.

          Please note, it’s THEIR backyard.

          It’s got nothing to do with you; that means you are the asshole (not kind of).

          Half of my back yard is wild with trees and bushes and tall grass, because I like my yard to sustain some small amount of wildlife. Squirrels, chipmunks, bees, rabbits, and even an owl live there. 100% better than your shit lawn, hands down.

          Why? Unless it’s growing into the neighbour’s yard it shouldn’t matter, and if it is growing in the neighbour can clip it back. Let the “weeds” bloom and nourish butterflies and bees. Let the thickets go and house a rabbit. Let the trees get scraggly and house more diverse birds.

          Why should the people trying to mimic English royalty by perpetuating laws established as hidden racism get to say what a yard looks like?

            There are many weeds that are not native and shouldn’t be allowed to florish. Many should be cut back and exterminated. By allowing them to grow they are creating not only a fire hazard but a propagation plant for weeds to every yard around them.

              Your house is a fire hazard.

              You should salt your yard, only then can you be safe.

                Most of my yard is not growth, I use as little water as possible living in the desert. I have plenty of plants that encourage pollinators and wild life.

              And you’re assuming what they have growing.

              In my “overgrown” backyard I’ve only got native wildflowers (which can actually reduce risk of severe wildfire compared to all the grass that just dries up around me).

          Nope. I like it. I’m on the very edge of the town and it isn’t as bad as thh guy beside me in the county.
