Oh the joys of living under the diktatorship of an HOA.
They should not have complied.
There must be a bunch of Damn Yankees running the HOA...
Bluebonnetts are only pretty while in bloom and it’s a banner year! We have a few folks in the neighborhood here in San Antonio that have an abundance of bluebonnetts. Doesn’t seem to bother anyone, though it does look a bit out of place because they do take over the yard like weeds.
Once they’re done blooming, I’m sure the folks will mow down the leaves.
Having lived there for almost 10 years...Plano TX is one of those places that thrives because of it’s “manicured” lawns, large tract homes, some mansion type neighborhoods and a lot of women with implants, especially white teeth, cheating spouses and a large teenage drug problem. It’s the epitomy of the new rich. All show, no substance. I was more than happy to leave.
Home owner associations do suck. However, if my neighbor had their whole lawn looking like this picture, I’d be having a talk with them myself. State flower or no state flower, what they do on their property affects my property values. And I very much doubt my property values are going to be enhanced by a neighbor whose yard looks like an empty field.
Nazis.
I have nothing particular against people who choose to live in a HOA.
The phrase “May your chains rest lightly upon you” comes to mind, though.
Maybe it’s just me. I suspect I’m one of those “Radical Individualists” that Al Gore prattled on about.
Figures it was in Plano.
Some years ago, a friend of mine had a neighbor who was trying to get “lawn of the month” to the point he wouldn’t let any of the neighborhood kids play on it, even his own.
I gave my fiend a big bag of wildflower seeds.
He *liberally* strew them over the guy’s yard one night and waited.
The guy watered and fertilized and couldn’t understand why his yard looked like an upland meadow.
