City council demands man remove grass from home and the neighboring road or pay the price, man cleverly complies making matters worse

The responsibilities associated with homeownership are numerous. Each person completes the chores on their list, knowing that doing so will enhance their own quality of life, even though the list may seem long and never-ending to some. However, how would you respond if the city council gave you a challenging task and threatened to punish you for not completing it? Would you defend what is rightfully yours, or would you submit out of fear?

According to the original poster (OP), his in-laws have been residing in the same house for over a decade. The residence is only a few meters from the municipal limits, which naturally has both benefits and drawbacks. Among them, the most notable is the absence of accountability for the nearby sidewalks and roads. But the tranquility of living in a neighborhood like the one mentioned above was shattered when OP's in-laws got a letter from the city council requesting that they remove any dead lawn from their property before summer arrived to avoid potential fire concerns, or else they would have to pay a fine. The letter's indicated address was not their property, which was the only issue.

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning how OP's in-laws maliciously complied with the municipal council! After you're done, don't forget to read the tale of the micromanager who makes his workers pay the water bills for 'poor' outdoor laborers in an effort to prevent 'unnecessary' spending!
