One of the problems with such a lawn in an urban or suburban environment is it is the perfect environment for vermin such as mice and rats. My neighbour has a small area behind their garage that has long weeds and grass. It's about 5 meters square but it's got loads of mice in it. Even all the neighbourhood cats combined can't catch all the mice since the mice breed so fast. The mice have started to invade other barns and homes of neighbours but at this point the amount is controllable. It's an older couple who own the property so people are not going to say anything. And it's out of sight but it's amazing how a little thing, grass area I mean, can blow up into a problem with so many mice. The previous owners were junk collectors and lived in the driveway in an RV and only worked outside at night ever see The Burbs movie? Some people really want or need or should be in a home in the country but they can't afford to move.
