Where do you live?  Sounds like a great city to avoid.

The weeds I have the most trouble with are all perennial and spread 
agressively through rhizomes. Bermuda grass and nutsedge being the 
worst of the bunch, but bindweeds, miscellaneous other vines and oxalis 
are problem makers too. I might be able to get them under control if I 
could put rhizome barriers at the edges of my property and get rid of 
all the grass. Unfortunatelly municipal ordinance dictates that a 
minimum 70% of yard visible from the street (front yard) must be 
maintained as lawn. I have seen the city come in and bush hog some 
beautifully landscaped yards, followed by hydroseeding, because the 
homeowners didn't have sufficient space devoted to lawn. To add insult 
to injury, the city then charges them for the wanton destruction.
I'm looking at relocating to somewhere else where I won't have this 
kind of restriction, but rural land prices have been rising close to 
100% a year around here, and I don't want to live too far from an urban 
center, for various reasons.
