Excellent allocation of resources, extremely valuable work done by these kings
They're the best lawns by far - low maintenance, good for the water supply, good for local bees. Naturally it is because of how good they are that many HOAs ban them.
It will always allude me that people voluntarily choose to be part of HOAs in the "land of the free", and HOAs almost without fail have shit-tier taste that comes from obnoxious old money failsons.
What the hell do HOAs even DO!? Who the hell benefits from that? Why the hell are environmentalists seen as meddling Karens that need to live and let live when HOAs are seen as cherished friends of the community?
In many places joining the HOA is a requirement of buying the house. On paper what they do is protect everyone's property values by saying no to ugly additions and making everyone keep their exterior clean, in practice they emerged right around the same time as redlining was outlawed and wouldn't you know it they have a long history of enforcing white only neighborhoods without being explicit about it.
Moss and clover are amazing, go out in the woods and find some and transplant it. I switched to only trimming the really tall stuff with a scythe and doing what I can to help the moss overtake the invasive grasses (basically just don't water the grass).
It's times like these where I think about how we're smart apes on a cosmic journey through a massive universe and we spend our time doing things like this.

wait wouldn't this just be standard hulk :confusion:
I think I'm going to throw up. I know that fashies like this word, but if anything needs to be called "decadence", it's this.
They do this to keep their lawns beautiful but they claim that cleaning up after yourself to keep the environment a beautiful place to hike or swim in is too much effort for both porky and government.
I am going going to become the joker.
Not to be that guy but tone down that consoomer rhetoric, its a far right talking point that doesn't address the actual issue of production. Like yeah, individual people have a responsibility to consume less but all meaningful action that can be taken is only at the government level. Anti-consumer rhetoric is the political equivalent of posting a wojak.

Could be worse, I guess. They could be pulling up the dead grass and replacing it with live sod grass every six months.
is this better than them constantly watering it for real green? so fucking stupid either way
i imagine a lot of natural resources are consumed in the manufacture, packaging, shipping, purchase, and distribution of that green paint.
Would it be possible to do this with something like a durable plastic resin? Just coat your dead grass in plastic so it becomes astroturf?
Or at the very least use native plants.
We're fucking California, we're the black sheep of the US. Let's at least make our residencies unique.
Ohhh right....we can't because of crusty boomers who think that being a stick-in-the-mud hating all change, even if it's both better and necessary is a cute little quirk.

plastic is a petroleum product and a pollutant. I suppose one could do this but I don't know why one would do this.
I was thinking that, since it would just be a one-time thing, it'd still probably be less petroleum products than the average suburban lawn gets over the course of its lifetime.
