If you are gardener by hobby, good for you.

My wife disagrees so I get to waste much of my limited free time on the yard. I should move to a condo.

HOA's suck. They shouldn't exist. If it's bad enough report it to the city.

HOAs are just breeding grounds for neighborhood nazis.

Most of the homes here aren't rentals

I'd imagine they are working too much to afford the house and the truck.

I think people are more likely to take care of a nice home. A $700k starter home

I think people under estimate the time, effort, and money it takes to get your yard to look decent let alone what it

It takes all of 20 mins to mow a lawn.

That is definitely a poor person size yard.

Many people don't want to deal with a yard and often rarely use it, it's why

You like trashy weed filled dandelion yards?

It is worth the $600/yr to have my yard sprayed for weeds and fertilizer.
