When I was giving serious thought to moving to Vegas, one thing I thought was super cool was that nobody had lawns, just patches of gravel, some scraggly desert underbrush, and maybe a palm tree or two. I love single-family houses but hate lawns, so that was one thing I was looking forward to about moving. Alas, it never happened. The main reason I was expecting to have to move evaporated, and I love my city enough that I don't want to move unless I have to, even despite lawns.
