Not a Bezos fan, but this is a serious question. Why do we even have laws regulating the height of plants used as privacy barriers?

Fines just mean “legal for a price”

Don’t you get it guys. He doesn’t want to see the poor driving around in their gas cars all day long.

So it’s not illegal there’s a premium to pay monthly

Podocarpus is more leafy. This reminds me of a giant juniper hedge near the local nursery. It looks like some kind of evergreen pine-adjacent shrub.

How flammable is it?

Fines should be proportional to net worth anyway. Speeding tickets, etc.

How does it work with Roundup?

If he doesn’t pay taxes I doubt he pays fines, let alone his employees.
ItalianAmericanDad
I would have let the trees join over the gate as well

The Real problem here is that in a ‘free’ country like the USA, there are regulations about how high your fence and hedge can be. It’s ridiculous.
Stunning_Mediocrity
Looks a bit flammable.

It’s not illegal. He has it grandfathered in as it was large before the bylaw went in
IamTheCheetoMan
That’s got to be one hell of a hedge fund…..(Dad snickers)

Then why can’t he pay his employees better

If a fine isn’t a punishment, then the fine isn’t enough. It should scale with income

I thought if you really wanted to be a dick to somebody you could drive by with water balloons filled with ground sterilizer. Used it on fence lines at an airport.

Its Indian Laurel Fig

The fine should double every day.
Probably our only way to tax the fuckers

Idk but I think Paper Mario may want to stop by for a visit.

You know if they just approved a proportional fine system based on gross income + property value it would be down in no time.
redditsuksazz
They should double the fine every month until he can’t pay it any more.

It’s not illegal if you have enough money. To bad they didn’t think you add compounding penalties.

I hate everything about that man.
The city should remove it
Internet search says some kind of Podocarpus
Increase the fine.
…and why are people calling it a fence, and saying he built it, and claiming fencing height laws apply to it
Can you really blame him? Nobody is at my house trying to film my yard.
Not taking a side on the issue, but those bushes look amazing!
My guess is Indian Laurel.
Not gonna lie, I want one of those fences.
I mean it’s better than a cement or iron wall
The property had a variance allowing the mega hedge before Bezos moved in. No fines paid.
Taylor Swift also has a variance for her, hegemony.
