I’d wager the people who came down against wouldn’t just shrug off $2k in landscaping lost if it were them. But it’s easy to take the high road when you don’t have skin in the game.
Our neighbours had their entire back yard re-sodded last week. I expect they’re watering it at night, and I’m not going to hold it against them. They gave us a few chunks of sod to patch our front lawn, and we’re watering them with grey water. But that’s not practical for a whole lawn.
I’m okay with drawing a distinction between imposing inconvenience on people in the name of civic duty, and imposing multi-thousand dollar losses. The city seems to understand the distinction as well, since they’re not imposing restrictions on businesses that require water to function.
