"Apparently this artiste isn’t aware of run-ins with home owners associations."

From the article:
"He has chosen communities where making a garden front yard out of lawn creates some tension and controversy, issuing a deliberate challenge to the notion that our idealized home should be viewed in an empty, park-like setting. Those conformist ideas are reinforced in many places by long-ingrained habits, or even by community covenants or ordinances."

People like him and us have a common enemy now: those who appose their own neighbors' private property activities by pushing pretenses about property values and false environmentalism in order to keep competition down for their relatives' international corporations and corporate agriculture/store rackets. Working class greenies are moving politically in our direction, as they begin to mature. They're even joining conservative survivalist organizations.

Growing gardens is a very conservative undertaking, and the global mercantilism must be starved down a little.
