yeah it's frustrating when front yards touch and one neighbor is into it and one

is a dandelion patch. Have some pride. Throw down some weed and feed people. It's really not that hard. It takes very effort for me to maintain a yard that's an 7-8. I don't have the greenest lawn and there is always some thin spots or a couple crab grass spots but zero clovers or dandelions. It's really not that hard to maintain a fine enough looking lawn.

Sounds like you need to move somewhere with an HOA to keep the trash out.

There is an HOA here and HOA's are a scam and the devil.

Then contact the HOA and report it. I'll bet they will respond. Posting on CB

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

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.

I just… don’t care. I’m never out there. Inside of my house- for sure, but lawn?

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