If you have an 18 year old TV, basically ANYTHING you buy to replace it will be an upgrade.

Don't buy an extender, they are junk. Upgrade to a mesh system or install a second hardwired access point.

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 would think the tree being removed woudl allow more sun and more greenery, but it's the opposite. Strange.
Not strange at all for the climate she's in. The limiting factor isn't sunlight, it's water.

She is refusing to water adequately.
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.

If she's watering twice a week, then there are major problem afoot becuase uniform watering wouldn't lead to half the yard being lush and green and the other looking like that.
I 100% guarantee that the "green" section of her lawn is being shaded by the other house. I've lived in a similar climate for almost 30 years and lawn care is totally different than what most of the folks on this page are use to.

I'd be very curious to know waht the lawn looked like 6 months ago.
It was equally brown or under snow.

Look at the lady's lawn. It's a pile of shite. This isn't a normal lawn with like a brown patch in it, half the entire yard is essnetially bare dirt.
I hate to tell you, but that's typical for the west in areas that aren't irrigated. I have "dirt" patches in my back yard despite having a smart irrigation system that waters based on temp, humidity, rainfall and soil type. Turfgrass and desert climates really aren't compatible.

Wrong. LINK

Colorado law does not allow homeowners associations to fine homeowners for brown grass during a drought as long as homeowners are watering their lawns as much as local restrictions allow. Piazza said she is watering twice a week, in compliance with Denver Water’s watering schedule.

So everyone else can keep their grass in decent shape, but this homeowner can’t? There is a reason she is being fined.
Living in an area with a similar climate I can tell you this. It could be a variety of things. 1. The type of grass that they use (there are many types of grasses with varying water requirements. 2. Soil type (Clay vs sand). 3. Slope of the lot. 4. Outside factors. For examples, what type of sprinkler heads she has and how efficient are they? I know my rotary head sprinklers do a much better job than my fixed spray heads. However, rotary heads are not appropriate for areas with small square footages. It could also be something like where her window are on her house and the aspect of her lawn. I have a couple of spots on the west facing portion of my lawn that I cannot keep green because in the afternoon the sun reflects off my office window and cooks it.
So before you cast stones and speculate about an area of the world you don't know anything about, why don't you consider that there may be more to the story than “everyone else can do it, so she must be lazy”? A dead patch of grass does not automatically mean someone is irresponsible or ignoring the rules.
There are legitimate reasons why one lawn may struggle while the one next door thrives. The bottom line is the HOA is outside of state law and needs to STHU.
