This is abuse. If there was a fine for opportunity cost, payed by the government, this bullshit would stop.

What absolute shits.

Dude should countersue for malicious prosecution given that they keep changing the law so that they can keep going after him (not a lawyer, so not even sure if that’s possible). What a waste of everyone’s time and resources, all because somebody in that city government has a petty grievance about something that isn’t hurting anyone at all. It’s like the city government of St. Peters is a worst-case HOA on steroids.

I was wondering if they were perfectly spaced for some kind of a skinny mower but he mentions hand trimming! A small reel mower might be good for that. Looks so much better than a plain lawn!

This is some *petty* shit done by miserable people who think laws are weapons and not contracts of mutual understanding.
No fixes to roads? No changes to housing and zoning laws so that less asphalt is necessary (because r/fuckcars)? Of course not! They’d rather have a war against flowers on someone else’s personal landscape. Absolute mongrels…

It’s sad that the city is just going to bleed him dry

Why do we need crop regulation for people’s front yards, lmao?

Freedom is a lie. Everyone wants to be a totalitarian. Boomers are the worst of the bunch. Ecology is collapsing. Plant more flowers and say fuck you.

If they are “crops” I’m not sure how they are regulating this without violating State law:
“CS/SB 82 prohibits a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of the state from regulating vegetable gardens on residential properties. Any local ordinance or regulation regarding vegetable gardens on residential properties is void and unenforceable. The bill provides an exception for local ordinances or regulations of a general nature that do not specifically regulate vegetable gardens, including, but not limited to, regulations and ordinances relating to water use during drought conditions, fertilizer use, or control of invasive species.
The bill defines the term “vegetable garden” as a plot of ground where herbs, fruits, flowers, or vegetables are cultivated for human consumption.
If approved by the Governor, these provisions take effect July 1, 2019.”

There are hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies there. It’s a huge net positive and that alone should make his lawn OK.

I love how these governments/municipalities are hell bent on this instead of fixing actual issues.

Thankfully the 10% should be easy to show. He has the mounds planted, draw a square, show that the base takes up less than 10% of the square, extrapolate to the entire yard.
