Hi Lemmy, My HOA sent out a email saying dogs are no longer allowed on any grass
in common areas or front yards including grass between sidewalk and curb which
is… everywhere except our own tiny backyards. The reasoning is some dog urine
effected dead spots. Honestly I didn’t even notice them, it’s 95° here and all
the grass looks sad. It’s a walking town and we are not a gated community,
non-residents walk their dogs here all the time, so this rule can only punish
those who live here and has no ability to effect others. Anyway, this seems like
a ‘we have tried nothing and we are all out of ideas!’ moment so I wanted to see
if anyone here had any suggestions I can pass on to maintain a “good” curb
appeal ground cover-wise while allowing dogs to do normal dog stuff. I can
converse with the HOA board in good faith, but this rule is basically banning
dogs from the neighborhood - which I super did not sign up for. Pertainent info:
PA, USA - Town Home style homes - small central common grass - owned for 8y.
Edit: it seems like people may have glossed over the question part and skipped
straight to HOA bashing (which is warranted at times!) so I will rephrase: What
ground covering or neighborhood solutions to similar (perceived) issues have
other communities employed?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but my main account @i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk appears to have been banned. Can it be unbanned please? Or at least an explanation of why it is? Thanks
Yeah, sorry, thought that was clear from me posting in a general community on that instance.
