The only purpose of lawns was originally to flaunt wealth: “see how much land I can waste and how many people I can employ maintaining it for no purpose whatsoever”.
Why this continues and is even encouraged in places, to this day, is a mystery to me.
I think it’s because it gives people a feeling of being in control of something.
A lawn is a great usable space for all sorts of recreation. So many sports are played on mown grass. Millions of people use and enjoy their lawns. They’re not just a burden of maintenance. Just look at what happened during lockdown, people with gardens were very lucky and not just because they had “control of something”
