New fence ordinance doesn’t make sense
Editor:
Regarding the fence ordinance passed by the Belen city councilors: There are many very good regulations; however, there is nothing wrong with chain link fencing. It keeps animals out or in, and also keeps people from kicking our landscaping rock on the sidewalk or street, plus security.
The councilors should look at yards with no fence. They would see that many yards have no grass and some yards are used to park cars or trucks, which looks worse than chain link fencing. We understand why no grass; water supply is short and water rates are high.
