The worst thing about lawns is that they are like castles or villas by the sea: luxury goods invented for the exclusive pleasure of a very rich minority, and which in conception and nature were never intended for the people.

As soon as a person/consumer acquires a lawn, their demand for lawns jumps to a higher level, and the more of other people's lawns that are around, the more diluted the value of one's own lawn becomes; the economy functionally cannot meet the demand for people having a lawn.
