More generally, lawns seem to me to be a net negative environmentally relative to any of many other landscaping options. I'm not quite for banning them, but maybe we could stop mandating them.

Or just have the rules convert to "must not look abandoned", as long as that doesn't conflict with other existing rules. In case of conflict, the "must be lawn" rule would just disappear with no replacement.
