@stux They just need to come up with a way to make it illegal to water your lawn. If it burns, it burns. As for having no lawn, those of us in rural areas tend to like them as it makes a buffer to keep the wildlife a little further away (not that the deer care). But it at least allows us to see what's out there before we let the pets outside. We mow about 3 of our 10 acres, the rest I brush hog a few times a year to keep it as field rather than have it go back to being scrub.
