TheBanyanTree: Once There Was Grass

[Theta]

Picking up dog poo - that's the first thing that came into my 
mind.  Darling Maggie and Shane were visited by a plastic grass salesman 
while we were there last month.  His blithe answer to the dog poo issue is 
to just hose it off.  "Hose it off, where?" was my question back and I 
vividly described my vision of the yard years from now, totally coated in 
slime of dog and having the kids outside playing in it.  He didn't stay long.

The CCR's for that place you visited also probably dictate the color you 
paint your house, prohibit swing sets, and forbid residents from parking in 
their driveway for more than 15 minutes and you have to get permission to 
have your guests park in front of the house when they come to visit.  Yep, 
sounds like a real fun neighborhood.  And the developer sounds like he 
needs some serious counseling.  Keep looking.
