  • I think we need to normalize alternative landscaping. Think tall and thin sumac with lots of mulch on the ground. Once in a year dump lots of mulch and don’t mow anything. If you don’t like gardening, and don’t spend time outside, just plant large bushes and mulch. I see so many people around that just don’t care about their lawn, and do the easiest thing so it looks like everybody else’s.


  • Neighbor cuts their postage stamp lawn with a loud lawn mower for 30 minutes. When they finish the next neighbor thinks to themself, ‘I should cut my lawn’, and starts a loud mower. When they finish the next neighbor starts. ALL Saturday. One after the other! Can’t you all just do it at the same time! Why can’t you use a push mower on a lawn that is smaller than a car parking spot! Why does it take you 30minutes, of using loud power tools, to cut a lawn the size of a car parking spot!!!


  • Sounds like decades of a failed First-Past-The-Post system the keeps giving majorities to parties that can’t close to 50% of the popular vote. We’ve known for a century that such a voting system isn’t fair. A simple option is ranked ballot, were you rank that candidates, and if no one gets over 50% the least favourite is dropped, and the vote is re-counted.
    We don’t live in a Democracy, we live in something that is less than a Democracy.
