Love Thy Neighbor till their spouse gets home

I have to get outside today and mow my lawn because it turns out that I have to worry about my pain in the ass neighbors AND neighborhood association reporting my somewhat unkempt front yard:

Organized neighborhood associations no longer have to throw in the towel when it comes to cleaning up certain problem properties. Legislation signed by the governor July 7 extends the right to file nuisance actions against property owners to neighborhood organizations in Kansas City, St. Louis and Springfield, Mo.

Before under the tradition of Common Law, Missouri courts had stuck to the requirement that anyone filing a nuisance suit against another property had to be a property owner himself.

In the past, the anti-nuisance laws have proved useful in Kansas City.

Certainly anti-nuisance laws have been very useful in getting poor people and minorities out of the city and out of the way of real estate developers. And after all, those wretched poor and/or brown people are quite a nuisance.
