The problem to me is that cities in the Bay don't actually go around enforcing this unless someone reports it, which turns it into a form of proxy war.
There's a woman in my neighborhood that caused quite a commotion over the state of my yard. A yard that my landlord is responsible for maintaining. The same woman went on a war path about cars parked on the street for more than two days time. She only enforces this on half the street though, people fortunate enough to live more than six houses down from her don't have to deal with her presence.
There's this attitude here that because rent is so high people are entitled to input on their surroundings and each other. Ironically, maybe sadly, when she tried to throw her rent in my face I found out that I pay nearly double that. Of course, a good example of this attitude is in the comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31990882 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31990882
