I think we need to normalize alternative landscaping. Think tall and thin sumac with lots of mulch on the ground. Once in a year dump lots of mulch and don’t mow anything. If you don’t like gardening, and don’t spend time outside, just plant large bushes and mulch. I see so many people around that just don’t care about their lawn, and do the easiest thing so it looks like everybody else’s.
Exactly this. A small organized group of ultra rich, making everyone’s life miserable. Buying up social media, newspapers, TV and spreading their dumb propaganda. Fox ‘news’ started it, Musk kept going with Twitter.
