They seem more like a status symbol. How much water would we save if we got people to stop caring about something so superficial like who has the greenest lawn?
I'm sure people in NYC can care less about a yard.
If i had to get rid of land it would be the back yard, front yards are fun because that's where the sidewalk is so you can talk to your neighbors passing by. Plus i still like some nature... there is no way i would want to be surrounded by cement
That's what a front porch is for! You can talk to neighbors passing by and hang out in the shade--plants optional. There are really options other than "giant front lawn" and "surrounded by cement."
Our front yard is more or less an extension of the back yard. I like having a front yard big enough for trees to shade the house, and for a rose garden.
Why does everything/anything that someone doesn't like have to be called a "status symbol"?

Someone offered an explanation. It sounds logical to me.
I've gotten rid of most of the lawn in my tiny front yard and replaced with shrubs and bushes. Lawn is silly. I've got a real nice covered front porch but I can't stand the loud kids (I know, what a codger) so I hang in the back where it's quiet.

I have ten feet of front yard, it is filled with plants that are sharp, spiky, or attract bees. I don't mind the kids, but they keep off my lawn lest it stab them! The trees aren't big enough to shade the house yet, but the six feet of mow-strip (not that I mow it, I took out the grass and put down mulch) is more than enough room for them to grow.
