Everyone who neglects their lawn is crippled?
Why not hire someone to mow it then?
did i say that? i wasn't alluding to that. i was simply stating another possibility.
there are some people (disabled/elderly) who rely on others to do yard maintenance for them. sometimes, those people (the people who volunteer to do the work) aren't always available and some time can pass before the job gets done leading to tall grass, etc. the elderly and disabled don't always have the funds to hire someone to do the work and are on a fixed income, an income that just barely pays for food, utilities, taxes, etc. i don't think it's fair that they be financially punished and i think they should be exempt from city fines for these offenses.
i know that some will say that if they can't afford to cut the grass, they should sell their homes and move into something smaller and without grass to maintain but sometimes there is big emotional connection to these dwellings and detachment would invoke a feeling of "what little shred i had left, my memories, are all gone" or something along those lines.
i don't care if the city wants to fine able bodied lazy homeowners who just don't care but they should exempt from punishment those that can't manage due to physical issues.
