That we would not mud sling against our neighbors online? Maybe you’re the problem! I thought Cranbury was better than this—also why were people bringing up civil rights anyhow? What does that have to do with weeds?

Now people who don’t even know what house they’re talking about are complaining about uncut lawns and houses being a mess. Have you been in the houses you’re discussing? Have you been in these yards? Do you even know what you are talking about before you weigh in here? If not let the neighbors sort it out and quit piling on—-unless you all did just come here to complain again about owners and not about the weeds. Oh stop it. This is a conversation about 2 houses in town that look terrible. People clearly know which houses they are even if they don’t know who owns them. Which tells me that this is about the houses, not the people that live there. Take your moral superiority complex and now it out your rear end. I’m sure you spend all your spare time weeding your neighbors gardens.

If that's not the case, I don't know where she lives either, or the state of her yard.

I don't even know the person on Main Street, that everyone is referring to! Pretty sure I know which house though, as I drive past it several times a week. Prejudice and racial animus? Watermelons? This is about someone not maintaining their property and a house that is an eyesore. Don't get a cramp from all the mental gymnastics you must be doing to make that about race.

We are racists because we are talking about someone no cutting their lawns. I swear. No matter what you do or say anymore it always turns into racism. Grow the F up people.

I am not weighing in on the house or individual. But find the above comment to be extremely racist. Yes. I fully agree posting here, complaining about someone or their home is very wrong. One should knock on the door if inclined and ask if they need help. I had a shared front lawn and the neighbors never mowed their side. I took an extra 5 minutes and mowed it myself. They got upset, I said I mowed it because it was too high and they mowed it from then on. Probably due to embarrassment. That said, my issue with this is associating a messy house with one’s race. One of the best houses I ever lived next to was owned by a minority. The person grew up in NYC and his elderly mother lived with them. All her life she wanted a house with a yard. They always had amazing flowers and the best lawn. So associating race to a mess is something uncalled for and there is no defense of it. If someone’s house is a mess or well kept it is a reflection on the person themselves not their race or religion.

I don’t care about blue lines, Columbus rocks, or civil rights commission. Have them, don’t have them whatever. But cut your damn lawn.

You cannot bully an inanimate object, as much as you would like like to make that the case, and suggesting as much does a great disservice to actual bullying. Stating that the owner of the house is disgusting and disgraceful would absolutely be bullying. Pointing out that a yard is not well kept is not.

Admittedly this is speculation but I've wondered given she's an entomologist at Rutgers if this is a philosophy of wanting to let nature take its course to help bugs, bees, avoid poisonous weed killers, etc. Finding a middle ground would be ideal--I agree it could use tidying up--but if this is where she's coming from I also support her goals. Excuseses so they can claim discrimination and tell us how we are all wrong for taking care of our property because we have pride in our town and how we are racist for questioning how bad their yard looks
