If people had tree Icons in their gardens in the left image, it would look much better wouldn't it.
Maybe but that doesnt change that the forest and ecosystem is eradicated. Clearing an ecosystem and outting in a suburb is still a problem even if theres some trees and shrubs. The wildlife still suffers
Human beings also need to live comfortable.
It is actually possible to live comfortably without an acre of sterile centimeter high grass around you. Many people around the world actually live in places that arent a suburban hellhole and are very happy
The HOA requires Bermuda grass, needs full sun so can't shade it with trees...
Found the American!
Lol, you Sir flatten me (never been to or from the US, but I know why I plan to keep it that way)
The what?
Home Owners Association, it's a sort of mob made up of Karens that people in US suburbs like to impose onto themselves.
Bermuda is a variety of grass, easy to grow but not so fast as to require too much mowing, it needs a lot of sun though.
HOAs like to dictate stuff that residents need to do in order to keep the neighborhood "look good" and increase home valuations, like what kind of grass to grow on their lawn (because, y'know, a uniform neighborhood is a rich neighborhood... or something)
