The Secret to Survival in South Euclid

Just passed a vacant lot on the way home.

As in many communities, if your property here isn't kept up in certain ways, you will get a notice from South Euclid. Probably the most common one is if your grass is too high.

There's this lot several blocks away from me. I don't know who owns it, and I wonder if the owner him/herself knows that they own it, because the grass doesn't seem to be mowed very often.

Recently I noticed (for the first time this year, but not the first time ever) there was a sign posted on a pole in the middle of the lot. South Euclid will do that if the grass grows too high.

Did that push the owner to mow the grass? Well, when I just drove by, the grass was so high that you couldn't even see the sign.

See, the problem disappeared by ignoring it. What could be simpler than that? :-)
