      Yeah, getting fined or ticketed for having your grass “too long” is ridiculous. I had to deal with this while pet sitting for some people who were just moving in to a house that had been unnoccupied. There was no one there to even cut the grass because they were packing up their old house in a different state.

        I dont think a “too long grass” fine is unreasonable. I think if you can completely obscure a 5’ tall figure standing upright in your grass alone, maybe a 30 minute fine is reasonable.

        … it’s how much? For being how long?
