Oh god it's like an HOA on steroids.
Thats another question...
Why do we allow HOAs to tell us what we can and cannot do with our own property?
Contract. You have to sign it to buy the house. The HOA's purpose is to maintain housing values. Can't have some shady neighbor leaving a crappy, unkempt yard and dropping the value of your suburban McMansion, right?
Studies done recently have shown the HOAs haven't maintained housing values.
This is nuts.
Julie Bass of Oak Park Faces Misdemeanor Charge for Vegetable Garden
OAK PARK, Mich. (WJBK) - "The price of organic food is kind of through the roof," said Julie Bass.
So, why not grow your own? However, Bass' garden is a little unique because it's in her front yard.
"We thought it'd be really cool to do it so the neighbors could see. The kids love it. The kids from the neighborhood all come and help," she said.
Bass' cool garden has landed her in hot water with the City of Oak Park. Code enforcement gave her a warning, then a ticket and now she's been charged with a misdemeanor.
"I think it's sad that the City of Oak Park that's already strapped for cash is paying a lot of money to have a prosecutor bothering us," Bass told FOX 2's Alexis Wiley.
"That's not what we want to see in a front yard," said Oak Park City Planner Kevin Rulkowski.
Why? The city is pointing to a code that says a front yard has to have suitable, live, plant material. The big question is what's "suitable?"

Why do we allow HOAs to tell us what we can and cannot do with our own property?
when you buy the property subject to a HOA you acknowledge that there are provisions governed by the HOA and by your signature transferring the real property to your name you express your agreement to abide by them
it is voluntary on the part of the buyers/owners
no different than an established covenant

HOA's are evil, I refuse to be subjected to their tyranny.
