Dirty Del Rio

When the grass is so tall in the medians that it's above your truck window.... Does the city not own a lawn mower? Or do they only reserve them for the baseball fields?

Lovely landscaping by Jack in the Box here in Dirty Del Rio. It's probably the councilman's favorite restaurant since it showcases their complete incompetence in keeping our city clean.

In addition to junk making our town look terrible, there are innumerable areas of overgrown and unkempt lots. Why does code enforcement not do anything about these places? Whether they be occupied or vacant, someone is responsible and gets a tax bill every year. Per city code, any overgrowth over 48" tall may be cut down by city crews without prior notice and the financial responsibility passed on to the property owner via tax lien or other means. Anything under 48" they are to send a notice to the property owner and after 10 days may pursue the same means. This is why we need real leadership in this dying town.
