- palijer 6y agoIt's interesting to me that the one country that markets itself as "land of the free" is the only one with homeowner associations
- throw0101a 6y agoNot entirely wrong, but Canada for example has condo(minium) boards where a development wasn't done as a freehold. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condominium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condominium Though a "condo" is technically a legal structure, in Canada in generally refers to a self-owned 'apartment' with-in a tower of some height. Colloquially 'townhouses' are house-looking structures in a common development. Fully- or semi-detached generally means a freehold property without any links to any kind of other legal entity (besides the municipality). 'Semi' means that there is a shared wall between two structures, but they are legally independent lots.

- petre 6y agoFor a low naintenance lawn you can plant clover or turf grass or a mix of grass with clover, Dutch Clover and chamomile. You get a more diverse lawn which attracts bees. If you have a lot of shade, moss is also a good alternative. https://elemental.green/10-low-maintenance-lawn-alternatives/ https://elemental.green/10-low-maintenance-lawn-alternatives...
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoBad news: Gardens and chicken farms require more work than a lawn, not less.
- D895n9o33436N42 6y agoYes, but those things bring more value than simple green grass. I can eat the chickens and their eggs. I can eat veggies from the garden. I can’t eat St Augustine grass because I’m not a goat.
- petre 6y agoYou can also feed the chicken almost all non eaten veggies and egg shells.
