Come on this has nothing to do with image. It is just another way to get money without really earning it. I have yet to see this ordinance made into a law and voted on by the state legistlature. It is just the act of one lady who got away with too much when in office.

I have seen some of the most beautiful yards in West Valley cited because the officers do not know the difference between flowers and weeds.

This ordinance is invasive to a personal property.

The problem isn't just in West Valley City, they're just the only ones doing something about it. People are tired of seeing their property values hurt by having a property next door that nobody would want to live by. Hopefully these guys will actually accomplish something; we'll know better next year I geuss.

Something has to be done to reverse the trend, or the whole city will turn into a big ghetto. The city is changing, the only question is whether the change is good or bad. I appreciate the City attempting to make it good.

I don't see this as an invasion of personal property rights. I live between two houses that used to be well maintained. New owners, new problems, the one has broken windows (over a year now) mows part of the lawn once or twice in a year, forget the back lawn, the grapevines hide that from the street. The other one at least will have the lawn cut once in a while, but the flower beds, you can't see the flowers any more, the back yard, I wouldn't venture back there. If they were not willing to take care of yards or houses, they should have bought a condo or town home. I have tried assisting them, now they seem to want to leave it to me, this is a great time for West Valley to put some teeth into the problem. As a property owner in West Valley, I am very glad to see them take this step.

I'm tired of people renting dirt places to people.Clean up your properties and give the right price not a overley payed price.Were all in this
