Banjo is short. She has to have short grass or she hates going out. We have a special segment of yard just for the dogs kept better than some of the outskirts.
Lawns are a status symbol from bygone era, the only purpose of them was to show "Look, I don't have to grow vegetables, because I am rich. Look how rich I am, I buy all my potatoes and tomatoes from grocery store." And somehow HOAs just continue to perpetrate that, even when it no longer makes sense.
Live in the mountains, still baffles me how many people lose all the plants keeping their hillside together, then get shocked when they lose several inches a year (sad-giggity) each time it rains...
I'm pretty sure a ton of people literally do not understand even the most basic aspects of habitat interaction and look at plants purely as decoration.

See, that I can get behind. Keep an area mown for little doggos/kids/setting out lawn chairs and let the rest grow more wild.

Lawns are an ecological disaster perpetrated one yard at a time.

They're conspicuous consumption, cloaked in Age of Reason bullshit symbolism of "the triumph of man over nature"

Well, it's decimated several species here by bringing 'decorative' plants into the ecosystem...
