I saw this, it's completely crazy. I mean WTF, the regulations don't even specify which plants are ok and not but they are still charging her, it's insanity.

An ordinance is and ordinance.
I have gotten fined many hundreds of dollars for violating them ,mostly in very trivial ways.
Gotta follow them or s--t happens.

F_ck that Vinny, I say fight the power! Take it to the media and work to eradicate nonsense that stands in the way of reasonable action. I've never been one to take things like that without a fight.

It's amazing what people get away with that is against policy or the law but then others get targeted for things like this that are technically not allowed but don't harm anything or anyone and might even be beneficial. Ridiculous.

This is crap! Let them plant their gardens. I's a beautiful thing they are doing on so many levels. There is less & less "freedom" in America with every passing day. Stand your ground, but alas, I guess "the man' will try to make you pay. Oh, what a mess this world is.
