Vegetable Gardens in the Front Yard

What the F* gives with people planting vegetable gardens in the front yard?
Will this decrease my property value?

People who have no sun in the back yard?

If you have neighbors doing this then I'm guess that your property value already has been decreased beyond what a few tomatoes in the yard will matter.

Call your HOA. This is trashy and affects property values.

This will absolutely, without a doubt, decrease your property value. A vegetable garden in the front yard is a very serious problem, and is more detrimental to your property value than a foreclose or short sale. We really need to unite and stand up to these homeowners with vegetable gardens in their front yards. Hell, I'd prefer a foreclosed house next to mine than one with a homeowner that's growing veggies in his front yard.

Furthermore, if you think your property is assessed too high, take a picture of your neighbor's house, bring it with you to the tax assessment office and argue your case. There is no way the office would disagree.

Best of luck to you.

These are victory gardens. Or sequestration orchards, finally bearing fruit.

I can't believe you're complaining about people growing their own food in their own yards....what if i don't like the car you park in your driveway? or your fat wife, or bald husband or teeneager with piercings and tattoos??? i don't like you choice of trim! i don't like your christmas lights! your choice of dog over cat offends me!

get a freaking grip!
people can do what they want in their own yard as long as it's not illegal.

This is a very interesting statement. Can an ugly neighbor negatively affect marketability of a home? My vote is yes. If I'm buying a home, and the wife next door is huge and unattractive, I might have to consider other homes. There's no intent on hitting on the neighbor's wife, and no offense to the overweight population but if we're complaining about how vegetables ruin the view from the street, I'd prefer not to see a fat ass watering the plants each time I'm out mowing the lawn.

You mow your own lawn?

I definitely can't be living next to your low-rent ass then.

Probably be out painting and doing other manual labor and making it look like people can't afford to have illegals do that kinda shit for them.
