Does this person actually think that at harvest season the thugs won’t steal all of it?
“I would HATE a neighborhood with a Home Owners’ Agreement”.
We don’t live in a HOA so that is why we could ignore them. I wouldn’t ever, ever, every purchase a home in a HOA. I have heard too many horror stories from people I know that do live in a HOA. No fences, no flags, having to send paint samples for your front door only to be denied several months later, requesting permission to plant a new bush, being told that an existing bush is too big... No thank you. I have enough issues with the freedoms I am losing elsewhere, everyday... I wouldn’t be a good “doobie” in a HOA.

Found this on a forum:
Please write to the mayor and or the city planner and council people. Let's remember that the idea of front yard gardens is new to some, so having a respectful tone will be beneficial.
Mayor Gerald Naftaly’s e-mail: gnaftaly@att.net
City Planner Kevin Rulkowski’s e-mail: krulkowski@ci.oak-park.mi.us
Council Person Angela Diggs Jackson: adjack@comcast.net Council Person Paul Levine: paul4oakpark@yahoo.com
Council Person Emile Duplessis: duplessis2@aol.com
When you e-mail leave out Mrs. Bass's name, if you don't the e-mail will bounce, at least for the planner. They have set an e-mail filter for her name. If you describe the even in plain words with no name mentioned it will be received.
>>I learned that here in MI if you put up an inflatable or temporary pool more than 2’ deep you have to have a permit.<<
Whoa!!!! Do you have a link to that?!? We have one in our backyard right now! Four feet. We put it up every year.
Here's hoping 5 or 10 of her neighbors create gardens in their own front yards, thereby magically making hers "common" and thus legal in this dolt's mind.
I think we need to move west...
If I move again in my lifetime it will be north. Preferably to the upper peninsula.
Even the White House has a garden in the lawn these days. I guess you gotta rank. Peons should not grow their own food, just grow food for the Politico’s.
As a reality check, I would like to know how long it has been since Michelle weeded in her garden. If ever...
I once read the specs on a public landscaping project in Pasco County, Florida. Public projects always spec "native" material (except when they want to use $25,000 Indian Date Palms to line the boulevards) Will never forget that "native" was defined (from memory) as "material not introduced by Eurpopeans prior to the sixteen-hundreds."
And was way before anybody had ever heard of the Post Racial President.
You’re thinking that, too, huh? I was looking to see if there was any good real estate.
She needs a nasty-faced lawyer to sue the crap out of this “city.”
Grand Marais Michigan is heaven on the lake Superior shore.
Tobacco makes a good Yard plant.. and soon maybe Hemp!..
So that means they could plant corn, peppers, squash, tomatoes, beans, sunflowers, etc. anywhere they wanted on the property, correct? Those are all plants native to the Americas.
The city government is made up of idiots. But then, that can be said almost anywhere.
Grew up on a farm in a rural area.
Most people had small tractors to haul the snow away. :)
Garden? Is that the thing you plant in may to harvest in june? ;)
Jeffery Figer’s office is just a few miles from the subject. That would be fun.
She ought to beat them under the
“Michigan Right To Farm Act”. Look it up if you like.
