> A neighbor complained, and the city cited him, claiming all the vehicles appeared to be inoperable. It also issued violations for other backyard items — car parts, generators, propane tanks and fruit that had fallen off his orange and grapefruit trees.

Cited for fruit that fell off of your own trees into your own yard. Absolute insanity.

The city has noted complaints from neighbors about rat infestations. I feel like that puts 'leaving fruit lying around' in a different light.
What a world we live in. Sometimes I wonder how these sorts of things get put into law and not a single person at any point thought "maybe this is stupid?"

Only way I could see this being a sensible thing, for limit the attraction of wild life into cities.
