Do Americans have some kind of adversity to gardens or is it due to HOA bullshit?
Both. My family lives out in the county. There's no rules as to what is supposed to done with the land.
So...They clear cut it. They'll leave a few small scraggly oak trees which will mostly all die in a year or two. It's horrible. They turn a beautiful forest into a dry desert in a week.
They'll misquote a local rancher, spout misinformation about certain species of trees to justify their horrible land management practices.
And then wonder why the area has less water and is getting hotter.
It's funny how, in my area at least, the HOAs are always stopping people from wanting to plant, and the people who can plant want to make it look like an HOAs wet dream.
