A thousand upvotes.  Here in my semi-small desert town (which is growing way too fast), we got some new city council people.  We have open spaces and no side walks.  Often people will park their cars and toys in the front yard of the house.  We have very rich and very poor here.  Most are working class, trying to eeeek out a living. One new council gal decided that she didn't like how residents front yards looked. She started writing out tickets to people to clean up their yards.  Uh...it's the desert, not Cali.  Apparently that didn't go ever well...lol.  People who live here are armed, not politically correct and don't put up with any liberal bs.     That said, Californians and their liberal policies are creeping in...
