My yard is a wildflower yard, and I’ve taken great pains to keep my dipshit neighbour from causing problems via the city
Making every yard a vegetable garden may be impractical, not everyone has the time or inclination or know how to grow vegetables. There should be a native trees/shrubs/ground cover starter pack list for each US region with plant-and-ignore native plants to replace invasive grasses like st Augustine and Bermuda grass.
Alternatively, depending on your preferences and financial situation, your HOA could do something useful for once and pay someone to care for all the veggies of the neighborhood.
It’s a matter of organisation, nothing more. All those useless, sad lawns could be beautiful places. Especially the one’s in the front.
Usually extension services in states have great resources for native planting etc.
I feel like this makes it sound easier than it is. The powers that be won’t let us do these things. It is possible but it means evading or overcoming them.
This just means that you will make a great fossil some day.
Everyone hates on golf, but I suspect we could play golf - or at least a very similar sport - on less artifical terrain.
There’s literally a club for playing on sand, you’re telling me you can’t make a golf course out of clover or dandelions or whatever? I call bullshit.
The overwhelming majority of people are too lazy and uninterested in learning to manage a garden
