Trash-bin enforcement isn’t ‘ratting’
Thank you, Fresno City Council, for labeling law-abiding citizens “nosey neighbors.”
The trash bins are unsightly, and a lot of people went to great work and expense to hide them and comply. There is no reason for bins to be left in the front yard or driveway for days on end, because, if you are elderly and can’t get them in or out, the city will do it for you.
So the city council now calls it “ratting” on your neighbor if you want your neighborhood to look untrashy.
