You can't lose your house. Maybe an HOA can fine you if you don't mow your weeds. Recovering a lawn that is overrun with weeds is very expensive, time consuming, and hard work under the hot sun. A well maintained lawn only needs a few maintenance applications of weed killer every season, or can even be handled by hand. If you want flowers for the insects (I'm all for it) plant flowers. But just "let it go wild" never ends well. Also, when it is time to sell your house a buyer is going to look at a wild lawn and just see a money/time sink.
