The case I wrote about has nothing to do with a homeowners association, but roughly 25 % of all home owners in CA live in communities run by HOAs. They still force and fine and threaten with eviction all those who want to go against the "green lawn" landscaping. The outcome of this - whether they will put legislation in place or not - will be interesting.

It would probably be the same in our town. The city governments talk out of both sides of their mouths. Water usage is one of my soap box topics. We think fuel prices/shortage is a big deal? Wait till we begin to really run out of water. And that scenario is not a possibility but a sure-thing. It's insane that we (especially in Texas) all have lawns worthy of Iowa or some other rain-soaked climate. It's a complete waste of water. We need to have rocks, mulch, or some sort of xeriscape in our yards that will live on occasional rain or water. We live in an arid region, and we need to come to grips with that before it is too late, if it isn't already too late. I am not at all surprised. It would probably be the same in our town.
