A lot of you are seriously outing yourselves as sociopaths with zero respect for others. Yes, the city owns it, but you know full well that the homeowner is tasked with caring for it. What is wrong with some of you? No wonder you like dogs better than you like people when you act the way you do.

Homeowners are not tasked with caring for it in my neighborhood. It’s considered a common area and the HOA contracted a landscaping company to maintain it. I don’t think we’re even allowed to place any signs there long term.

Oh well for sure your one HOA neighborhood where signs aren’t even allowed is the best example.

Doesn’t even matter who maintains it. Homeowners might shovel snow off sidewalks, but they can’t necessarily claim ownership. They may provide and maintain a mailbox, but they’re not allowed to use it for any purpose they want. In most jurisdictions, that strip of grass doesn’t belong to the owners of adjacent properties any more than the sidewalks or the streets do.

It does though. I have put out signs when I have just put in new plants. I don’t own my easement/hell strip/boulevard but it is my responsibility as a homeowner to care for it so that it looks decent. Why some of you are obviously pleased to destroy someone else’s investment - even if it’s small by your standards - is just sad and you come across as toxic, entitled people. This is why we can’t have nice things as a society. “That’s not theirs, I don’t care if they’re trying to take care of it, they’re crazy, I’m going to let my dog destroy it!” is an entirely messed up thing to do.

I don’t let my dog pee on people’s private yards, signs, fences, mailboxes or flowers, so you’d have no problem with us, even if you didn’t put a sign out, but you have no right to dictate other people’s use of public property. That strip is there for dog walking just as much as it is for planting. That is the appropriate place for dogs to urinate on walks.

I don't let me dog pee in places where people have tried to make the tree box look nice if I can help it. But be aware male dogs often cock their leg even when there is no pee or just a drop and I don't stop mine when he has basically pee'd himself out and is just going through the motions however i've gotten yelled at when he was doing that by a woman at a bus stop across the street when it wasn't her yard

Pray tell, where is a dog allowed to pee in your world?

Also, dog pee does no more harm than squirrel pee, deer pee, bird poop, rabbit poop, or the excrement of all the other wild creatures that come through your yard on occasion. CHILL OUT.

It takes some nerve to plant things on public property, where you know dogs pee regularly, and then complain that dogs are peeing on your plants.

I have a mind to pull that piece of crap signage up and toss it in to the other part of your yard.

Just move on down to the next house. It is not that hard. Signed, owner of 2 dogs.

Not sure if this had been discussed already but are you sure they don't own the grass between the sidewalk and the road? Some sidewalks exist bc the homeowners granted an easement and the home owner still owns the land including the strip between the sidewalk and the road.

My neighbors are sure I don't own my front yard. Not sure why they think this except they're from DC. And they let their dog all come sll the way up into my yard and urinate on the strawberries I planted. Not sure if this is your situation but that's my relevant rant

It's not their grass. Their grass is in their front yard. The grass between the sidewalk and curb belongs to the city. That grass is public grass.

Damn. They don’t think you own your front yard? There’s no excuse for allowing a dog to trespass and urinate on food someone is growing. I’m so sorry.

This is the case in DC. You don't own your front yard and you DEFINITELY dont own any easements or tree boxes.

I hate to say this, but in the scenario did you describe, you appear to be the "ugly" person

So your neighbors don't like dogs peeing on that easement in front of their house. It is so easy to walk past it. I try to respect my neighbors. I have two dogs and I try to make them go potty in my backyard before our walk. But if they are unable to, I, 1) only let them use the easement between the sidewalk and the road. But 2) if a person had a sign saying, please don't use this particular easement, I would just move past. It really is not difficult.

Why bother to accommodate the preferences of weirdo who won't know either way? Dogs need to pee somewhere on their walks. Letting them pee on public property when the only person who objects is a random neighbor seems perfectly civilized to me.

I hate it when people let their pets do things that aren't permitted (run around on school grounds, walk off-leash in areas with leash laws). But if you don't want someone's dog peeing near your house, move out to the country. Or avert your eyes and pretend it's not happening.

I can see that though. The guy maintains the grass. He has to walk across his grass everyday to get in and out of his car when parked along the curb. The little poop bags don’t wipe all blades of grass. Poop gets on the guy’s shoes. He’s bitter now.
