That right there tells me everything I need to know. Green grass in a desert.
My HOA requires (2) 20 gallon plants and (5) 5 gallon plants in my front yard. The 5 gallon plants keep dying in the extreme heat and I get a violation notice to remove the dead plants. If I don’t plant new plants, I get a violation notice. I’m planting plants that will die because the ground temps are 130°F where I live. Waste of water, dumbest shit ever.
My HOA can’t even keep our community saguaros alive but they get to replace them with iron sculptures. I’m just stuck in a perpetual loop of killing plants.
My man, fake plants have come a long way! Get some of the appropriate size and rest easy!
No fake plants allowed in the front yard. That’s why I’m pissed they can kill a protected species of cactus and replace it with an iron replica. It’s total BS.
Don't admit that it's plastic. Ez pz.
If they need to be dead close and touch them to determine plastic, hit them with trespassing.
So people live in HOAs because....afraid to live near brown/black people? Why would anyone buy into this?
Kinda racist to assume the nice neighborhoods don’t have black and brown people. There are no options in the nicer neighborhoods. Either you live in the ghetto filled with white crack heads or you live with an HOA.
