Oh here's your position. Sorry. It's a reasonable one but maintenance is maintenance. A healthy ecosystem can be attained with monocrop lawns. Regardless, healthy ecosystems should maintain themselves but only after they've been made healthy by human beings in places where humans largely live. A neighborhood is not a forest and without human intervention, will just turn to a desert of bad bugs and invasive species displacing native ones.

Strawman again. I never argued in favor of an unmaintained yard.

Sure, I grant you that. But you did argue monocrops are inherently bad and that's what I disagree with

Where did I argue that?

I would normally consider a "lawn" to be a monocrop of grass.

And...?

You said people with lawns are brainwashed. I interpreted that as "lawns bad". Sorry if I came of brash. I put a lot of hard work into maintaining my lawn. Not just for me and my family, but for the health of the soil, which in turn is for the health of the microbiology of the lawn, making for a lovely environment my native species can enjoy. We have the same goals. Put the argument in a bubble and blow it away. We love nature 🫂
