What's with American's obsession with lawns? What's wrong with some flowers, some trees that provide shade maybe some veggies?

I don't know, I've replaced my grass lawn with a clover lawn and all my boomer neighbors seethe "omg don't you want a nice lawn? isn't that a pain in the ass to deal with?" so I just guilt trip them about pollinators or something and it usually shuts them up.

what's worse is that you aren't allowed to simply not mow your lawn, if you don't the HAO's will come knocking on your door, crying about muh property values.
unfortunately, I have to go mow my lawn soon because I still live with my parents and they just LOVE clean lawns

It’s an English aristocracy thing that was fed to the middle class by Big Lawn for the sole purpose of milking money out of them. You vil spend retarded amounts of money on that John Deere mower, that fertilizer, and that water. You vil pay the HOA fees for a single blade of grass on your lawn being 3/56th of an inch taller than the standard. And you vil be happy.

North Americans have mastered the art of working even when they're not working, dedicating their free time to manicuring vast plots of sterile, flat lawn; land that yields neither fruit nor vegetable, only the satisfaction of having trimmed it precisely every three days

A scottish aristocrat came here and wanted to recreate the long open fields like back home, especially to play golf, and it caught on with the wealthy and then the poors. I think you're right. Ut's a retarded idea to put money and effort into maintaining. I advocate for cultivating plants but not specifically just manicured gold field grass.

1. You live with your parents
2. This is more a direct answer to OPs question, Home Owners Associations, many neighborhoods have quasi governments that can fine you if you dont keep your lawn in a certain way
Before you fucking morons sperg out and (You) me, I know you think you keep a manicured lawn because you want to, you dont, you do it because its a societal norm and you will be punished if you dont, I mean your parents, youre not a homeowner

The way I see it, the American psyche is very much moulded by the Faustian Spirit. Accordingly, a flat and manicured lawn is a tangible and physical representation of men and its order overcoming nature and chaos.

The house I bought was like that, because it was owned by an elderly woman who did nothing to the garden.
And half the trees were dead, there was invasive vines all over killing everything and the house had mice and other insects.
I ripped it all up and they’re all dead now.

those things are literally dead center in the picture you posted.

anyways, all you can do with those things is look at them. a lawn is for working in, for playing in. you just spent all summer planting flowers, are you going to frolick through them and trample all of that hard work? no thanks, i want to play catch with my son.

Houses in my state have to be assessed by comparing other similar houses in the neighborhood (bedrooms, square footage, etc)
If the dumb boomer working for the town doing tax assessments thinks your house is a shithole and lowers the assessed value, it will skew the holy Zestimate [tm] and line will no longer go up.
Half of the fuckers on my block are rentoids so I dont even know why they're so buttmad.
