Did anyone else catch Doug Grow's column today? -

This just reads like a comedy of errors to me. First, people complained to
the city about a piece of natural prairie. (Apparently it's far too
difficult to actually walk up and read a sign explaining what's going
on). Then the City Inspector gets out his ruler and measures said prairie
grass. This, or course, assumes the Inspector ever actually got that
close. Presumably if he or she did they'd have seen the sign.
The issue of the MPS not responding to the letter about property they don't
really control seems minor.
Regardless, as Gary Schiff states in Grow's column it's time for
Minneapolis to update ordinances around landscaping. Still, the inability
of a City Inspector to distinguish between an "unkempt property" and a
wildflower garden is disturbing to say the least.
