Not strange at all for the climate she's in. The limiting factor isn't sunlight, it's water.
IYO what would explain the stark difference in the sides of the yard then assuming uniform water and sunlight?

I already told the board about 5 post ago...

I 100% guarantee that the "green" section of her lawn is being shaded by the other house.

Who's the higher authority, the government or the HOA? According to her, she watering to the maximum extent allowed by the governmental entity that is responsible for water usage. If true, she can do no more.
There is a reason Colorado has a law preventing HOA's from issuing fines in this situation.
What is the drought watering regulation? 2 days per week? How many gallons is she limited to? Why is everyone else getting by? Are they all breaking the drought restrictions?
The simplest answer is usually the correct one. She isn't watering that brown area at all. Based on the green grass being in the more shaded area, it is just neglect. Pure and simple.

I’d be curious to know how much of a headache it would be to demonstrate the HOA is fining you for refusing to violate the law.
Wondering if you could sue all of the asshats on the HOA board and in the mgmt company to recoup all of your court costs as well.
I'm thinking criminal charges. There has to be some law they're breaking if they're punishing people for NOT doing something illegal.

agreed. if she was watering it sufficiently she would have at least weeds instead of dirt/sand. she doesn’t want to pay the watering bill and/or doesn’t have a sprinkler system. just water at night until the start monitoring your water bill, it’s what I’ve always done during droughts that lead to “water restrictions”. I’ll pay your stupid fine compared to the $5-8k in sod it’ll cost me to replace my lawn.
other than that, I don’t have a beef with HOA’s. It keeps trashy people from being trashy. Don’t like it, move.

The only people that like the HOA are the people on the HOA board of enforcement

The never-ending struggle of keeping non-native turf grasses on life support marches on.

I get wanting your neighbors to keep their place up but signing a agreement that would allow a organization to do this is insane. I laugh at anyone that lives in one of these places.

Yes..... uncle Sam is in fact one of them, its currently in a football jersey.
If anything it makes it more annoying because when people on the FB page complain or suggest that MAYBE its time to take it down, they reference the seasonal outfits

Maybe it's just me, but I can find far better uses of my time than paying money to have to have someone tell me what I can and can't do with my own property.
Have we reached a point in society where people have run out of things to do?
