News:

Pioneer Peak Elementary used for anti-Prop 1 campaigning

70 year old woman charged for having a brown lawn..
"..cited by the police's "Neighborhood Preservation Unit" for failing to water her lawn, ..city officials pressed charges against [the woman] on the landscape violation, a class C misdemeanor"
More.. Ah, the all-American lawn. Lush, green, required by law, and enforceable by jail time!

"..pet snakes are forbidden, houses must be painted a city-approved hue and residents cannot so much as screen in their pools without permits"
