Glendale Cal. bans fake grass on front lawns

Glendale Cal. bans fake grass on front lawns. No astroturf! At least, not the kind one puts on lawns – Axelrod’s version is for the public good, ya know. Why just front lawns and not backyards? Here’s the city’s answer: [sound of crickets chirping.]

  • Good news, you can now replace your front lawn with medical marijuana in Kalifornia. But you might have to put up a fence to keep out the OWSers and other dope fiends from stealing your grass.

  • I guess they get a little upset when you fertilize it with steer manure. Liberals don't know how to be sports.

  • So its ok to line every school playground and stadium, but it is dangerous in front yards? With most children never setting foot outside except to walk to and from their driveways? Look and see which donor runs a sod company.

  • Perhaps its time for Glendale to Ban Fake politicians..They are easy top sot, Look for the combover, yellow stained pants/dress, and a large amount of babbling bullshit.

  • How stupid can Glendale bureaucrats be?! And how inconsistent and hypocritical. This is the same Glendale that punishes residents for watering their lawns on the "wrong" day of the week; imposes heavy staggered water usage rates, etc.

    So these idiots punish us with water rules and rates, complain that WE waste water, and then ban an ecologically beneficient alternative.
