Dead grass? Spray it green!
Talk about a quick fix.
Council members Sam Spagnolo and Dennis Michael have been crafting an ordinance to deal with the blight caused by the number of foreclosed properties in the city. Among the tools this subcommittee wants to adopt is a spray-on product to turn dead grass green. Apparently, there are companies out there who'll give abandoned lawns a green treatment.
"We'd pay for that and then we would put a lien on the property," explained Spagnolo. "This ordinance would give us the tool to do what we need to do so there won't be a blight on the neighborhood."
What happens if Spot rolls around in it, I wonder. Would he turn green? All this reminds me of what Beijing officials did to the city's lawns to make the polluted metropolis look nice for the Olympic committee.
The ordinance will include other measures to deal with abandoned homes. More details will come out when the council votes on it in March.

Doesn't dead green grass burn just as easy as dead brown grass?
Why not just water the lawns and send the owners (the banks) a bill?
Don't forget, Stephen, we're in a drought.
Do they make coloring that's fire retardant then? :)
