While I agree that American suburbian lawn culture sucks, where every house has like a hectare plot of which 99% is lawn, on the other hand I wouldn't want to maintain a Staudendschungel on such a large area - wayyy too time-consuming, lawn *is* indeed lower maintenance, especially if you don't water it (mine looks like a steppe for several months a year thanks to our rather dry climate, posted a pic here:
>>1310411), and the grass clippings when I do mow make for a nice mulch layer for my peppers and tomatoes, suppressing weed growth. But I do line it with flower/shrub beds and have some trees on it (progressively adding more of both), so it's not really a huge ass monoculture.
Here a pic from the front yard a few weeks ago through fisheye. Much stuff is recent plantations so it still looks a bit gappy, but will eventually grow more tightly together.
tl;dr my view on lawns is - die Dosis macht das Gift
