As drought-stricken Arizona bakes in searing heat, the Scottsdale City Council unanimously agreed this week to ban natural grass in front of future single-family homes in an effort to conserve water.
Having grass lawns in the desert is as stupid as it is ugly. Planting a bunch of native plants is always going to look better and be easier to maintain.
Living in the desert has always made me question the sanity of the person. You are made out of water. Why would you go to a place that doesn’t have enough of it? It isn’t like there is a substitute. Like if I can’t get bread I can just eat rice. If I can’t get water I can ummm.
While I agree with you another problem is that people plant things that are not native to the dessert and they bring all the crappy allergens with them. The dearest used to be a place your doctor would send you if you had severe allergies but now in combination with all of Arizona’s dust it’s one of the worst places for allergies.

Dearest Desert,
I write you today with a heavy heart, longing for the past. Do you remember the times we had nary a sneeze? Oh how I yearn for those days.
Always and forever yours, -ScrotumNipples
Now? Arizona has always had dust. Why is it only a problem now?
