[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All landscaping, native or not, should be heavily, heavily taxed. [/quote] THIS. Landscaping, regardless of wether it’s “native” or not, reeks of privilege and conspicuous consumption. It’s just a display of wealth. And it should be taxed accordingly. If someone is willing to purchase plants and flowers and ornamental plants just to show off their “grounds”, then they need to also be willing to pay for their privilege. Poor and working families don’t have fancy yards. If UMC strivers want to, then they should be forced to pay extra for their display of wealth. [/quote] I respectfully disagree. Poor and working families can start growing vegetables and flowers in containers. Taking care of plants and observing nature is not a display of wealth. Public libraries have resources that teach how to start a container garden and do experiments with kids.[/quote]
