      As soon as a person/consumer acquires a lawn, their demand for lawns jumps to a higher level, and the more of other people's lawns that are around, the more diluted the value of one's own lawn becomes; the economy functionally cannot meet the demand for people having a lawn.

        Begun, the lawn wars have.

        God I remember my uncle's lawn-feud with his neighbor, them constantly trying to one-up each other with nicer lawns. Pathetic.
