The only thing I would object to it the visibility of the fire hydrant.
I’m a bit surprised at how far into the parcel the hydrant is placed but they also practically don’t exist around here, is it common to have them basically on your lawn?
Same question. Why did they placed the fire hydrant on the lawn of that house.
a whole tree in one year? that seems misleading…
There’s two trees, the big one is more in frame in the second image
Impressive. Any edible stuff? How much work would it take to keep these plants so well groomed? They start to get tangled and fight each other when I do it :)
No way the bottom one doesn’t need any watering? No?
home owners association: “I’m calling the police!”
Doesn’t even need to be an HOA, plenty of municipalities don’t accept anything but lawn in front of the house.
Or just a neighbor with no life that studies ordinances.
My parents have a neighbor that waked around the block with a tape measure, measuring how far from sidewalk people had trees or shrubs. Township ordinance said it had to be 6 feet away.
She then called the city and reported everyone in violation. The neighbor never met most of those people. She was just bored with no life.
Wish we could pass a law against nuisance tattle tails. Have to prove you were somehow affected by the issue in order to report it otherwise you get fined for being excessively nosey and ignored.
I’m sure there are all sorts of problems with this idea, but a guy can dream.
Yeah unfortunately we just cannot plug all the holes these dickhead people take advantage of.
The only thing that works is people not being dickheads. Society is held together by people being morale and nice without laws or rules making them do so.
Honestly, the main problem is no your neighbor, but the law itself
Nah it’s the neighbor.
There are cases like this all throughout life where society is held together by people just being nice.
We will never reach a point where every old law is removed, every needed law is created, every loose end tied up. It isn’t possible.
We depend on people being cordial and respectful for society to work. Personal responsibility.
Yep, I think you are right
Cannot believe that someone would prefer 2022 photo instead of 2023…

Unless this was in Australia or some place with dangerous snakes, I don’t really see why people should be THAT afraid of them, if anything you should be happy they’re gonna keep the rats at bay.
looks at username
Oh.
Aussie snakes might be very venomous, but in general they’ll only bite if they’re provoked. I live near a nature reserve full of snakes and it’s not really an issue for most people. Just leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone.
But you might provoke them by mistake as you didn’t even see them no? I mean no expert but like accidents happen, it’s not just people being dumb and bothering them or similar.
I’ve lived near the reserve for about 20 years and I haven’t heard of anyone being bitten by a snake there (although some dogs have, unfortunately). I think accidents could happen but they’d be pretty rare. The snakes here tend to stick to the long grass and near the creek and I think most people have the sense to not go trampling through the grass during snake season.
It also depends on the snake species. Around here we mainly have Eastern browns, which are venomous but timid. In other places in Australia snakes may be more aggressive and accidents are more likely.
True nature in cities is not only for humans, but also for the animals, bugs and all the little creatures.
The 2023 pic is beautiful and looks really nice. But if we’re comparing in good faith, it’s also pretty obvious that the 2022 photo was taken in early spring when nothing is growing.
There’s surely a lot more plant life on the bottom anyway, but it would not look that vibrant if it was all dormant right after winter like the top pic.
While working on my graduation thesis at the natural sciences faculty, this is exactly what we studied: the usage of autochthon plants as a replacement for garden varieties in an urban context
Edit: grammar correction
what is authocton? google didnt know.
I think they meant this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autochthon
Yeah, mispelled: english not first language. "H"s in scientific terms are always a struggle
No worries! You taught me a new word and English IS my first language 😄
