Because lawns are fucking stupid.

Context is important. I grew up on 5 acres of pretty wild land so the lawn around the house was anything but fucking stupid.

Gave kids a place to play in view of the big windows in the house, was a very very small part of the overall land. A small maintained area is a very good thing to have access to. But so was the wildness behind it

In more suburban or urban environments is a completely different discussion I will grant you

That, and I can't help that my brain is wired to enjoy looking at a well kept lawn. It just is. Though I also like forest. Wish I could have both.
