[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a radical suggestion. If you don’t have enough green space for your dog to poop on your own property, you should not have a dog. [/quote] Translation: If you do not live in the suburbs you do not deserve to have a dog. Really can't believe someone had the audacity to post this asinine comment. [/quote]I'm not the poster you have responded to, but I disagree with your translation.

You don't have to live in the suburbs to have a dog, but you don't have the right to let your pet defecate on someone else's property. You are in control of your dog aren't you, so surely this is common sense as trespassing is breaking the law? [/quote]

In the city, the area of grass between the sidewalk and the street belongs to DC, it doesn't matter if it is in front of someone's property. Even in the nicest neighborhoods, many are basically a tree surrounded by dirt and weeds. Those are fair game. If someone goes through the trouble of planting there (and there are rules surrounding what you can and cannot do with that space) the polite dog owner will avoid it and go for the muddy weeded ones, but technically either is fine and DEFINITELY not breaking the law no matter how many "don't pee here" signs you post.

Actually in DC the city owns much more than that. In many areas DC owns everything 45 feet from the centerline of the road, and in the part of the city south of FL Ave (Old City) they own the entire front yard.     [/quote]
