“see a lot of dried scrub bushes around his beautiful house. Was he not allowed to clear that stuff out. How sad to lose one’s home and all of one’s possessions.”
I don’t understand it. In northern California we were assessed a fee every year to get that brush cleared from our lots or we got fined. I thought that was for all of California. Maybe it was just for poor rural people.
Maybe it was a common sense rule by a local government in a conservative area. I was under the impression that clearing out brush was not allowed in a large part of California due to harming some kind of little rats or other endangered species. Perhaps I am wrong.
