You sure? I kinda thought the fronds looked too pointy to be yucca, but again, I don't really know what I'm talking about here! Another Lookout just texted telling me there are like 50 different sub-species of the stuff, though, so I guess briefly Google Image searching probably wasn't a sufficient canvass on my part.

It's not lush at all! It's stalky and gawky and I simply do not looking at it! But taste is a matter of taste, I suppose. Thanks for weighing in, and thanks for reading!

Yeah it's a major point of frustration for me. I ride bikes and walk in this neighborhood far more than I drive, but regardless of the mode of conveyance, it's dangerous as hell. Regarding parking enforcement: does Richmond, like... do parking enforcement? I cannot recall ever seeing a parking attendant walking up and down a block (in Church Hill or elsewhere in the city) chalking tires, checking meters/whatever the app equivalent is, and issuing tickets as appropriate. Kinda baffling, seems like a ton of money left on the table that could be used for more equitable road redesigns, as you note.
