Ralph: There! I did my duty! We have to conserve water because of drought conditions... So I tore out my lawn and replaced t with drought-resistant plants! ... Sigh...
Where is he living? Desert landscape is great if you’re living in a desert (e.g. Phoenix), but rather pointless if you’re living elsewhere (e.g. New York.)
This somewhat happened to me. Living near Dallas, I ripped out all the the shrubs, bushes and other plants in my front garden and replaced them with xerescaping (rocks, agave, yucca, etc.) And now we have more rain than our reservoirs can handle. Well, at least I don’t have to trim “hedgezilla” twice a year.

Do what Shirley Temple once did with one of her homes. Asphalt over your lawn and paint it green!

You try to do that in my neighborhood and all you get are harassment letters from the HOA.

Well… that about sums up my entire life up to this point.
