All I can say, Hildy, is I'm glad I don't live next to you. Working 3 jobs I sometimes don't have time to mow the lawn twice a week. Glad my neighbors are a little more understanding.
"I sometimes don't have time to mow"
My brother doesn't like yard work. The city sent him a letter telling him to clean it up or the city would do it for him and send him the bill. LOL...he cleaned it up, got the city off his back and put hedges all around his house. The hedges are now about 10 feet tall and you can't see his yard or the mess. That was his way of solving the problem.
The woman in the article received 37 summons over a two year span of time.
"John Lane, Mahwah's property maintenance and zoning enforcement officer, says Moor's problem is that she hasn't complied with the ordinances or the court orders that attempted to enforce them. If people comply and show an effort, he said, the township will work with them."
If the woman had TRIED to DO SOMETHING during the TWO YEARS that the city had been asking her to PLEASE do SOMETHING, they would have worked with her.
She didn't, and now, victimhood is granted to her.
Give me a friggin' break.
