Hopefully more communities
Hopefully more communities take a cue from East Lake with this grand idea. And insteand of trying to run people out of the community, work with them and reach out to them. We never know what a family whose yard hasn't been cut maybe going through. Or whose house may need a paint job is going through. So instead of always establishing laws and using law enforcement that usually only divides people and bring about more distrust between neighbors, isn't this a more humane solution. Weed and seeding everyone who doesn't not fit our idea of the perfect or acceptable neighbor is not the answer. When we uproot one person, we uproot their entire family, including children. Then they have to start over and sprout somewhere else. And each time they're weeded and tossed it gets harder and harder to root and flourish.
