Alex Jones interviews Roland Ellingson and his neighbors regarding a city notice from the Austin Health and Human Services department demanding the mowing of three-inch grass. Jones argues that the city's threat of a privileged lien against the property for minor vegetation is a violation of private property rights. A neighbor expresses frustration, suggesting the city should focus on violent crime rather than harassing law-abiding homeowners over "objectionable material."
