On Lawns
Grass is a resource black hole with no return (other than making your pompous homeowners association get off on its own grotesque wealth). So it makes sense that this guy got rid of his. Now he’s facing a $1,000 fine and six months in jail.
Ha said he and his wife, Angelina, removed the lawn in 2008 to take their monthly water bill down from $180 every two months to $48 every two months. He said they put down wood chips and started installing drought-resistant plants after city officials warned them about the code, but officials said wood chips do not qualify as landscaping and took Ha to court.
