Lawns are a soul-crushing timesuck and most of us would be better off without them

How did TPP miss this article as it so clearly reflects his lawn philosophy in so few words "a soul-crushing timesuck".  You have to like a phrase that succinct.  Here's the article.  Something like 1,9% of the USA's land surface is planted to turf grass.  Or as my lawn currently demonstrates, crab grass can take over from turf grasses.  It's actually awful because of all the seeds. So ha, ha, our lawn is mostly not turf grass, but other species.
