re: Why do Americans care so much about their grass?

Sequestering carbon, producing oxygen, cooling temperatures, reduced soil erosion. All would be scientific. People view greenspace as safer than a run down shanty town full of decrepit buildings.

Allowing the grass to grow wild, one would logically conclude would increase the scientific benefits of carbon sequestration and erosion prevention.

I’m not saying let the building run down. Strictly speaking about the lawn. Decrepit lawn, perfect building.

Same reason people clean and vacuum the house, make the bed, put things in order, put decor on the walls. Same reason why people buy nice cars or clothes

I cleaned and vacuum the house for health benefits and to preserve the investment. I put things in order to Increase efficiency. I do not make my bed because it serves no purpose. If someone is in my bedroom they have already been impressed.

You have any pictures on the wall? Paint on the walls?

You can paint before selling, no?

People do it because it looks neat and is easier to play in. Stop being such an a-hole.
