I hate our obsession with lawns.
If I don't have it mowed soon the neighbors are going to get pissy. But we've had wildflowers come up and we've got so many bees visiting the flowers. I don't want to mow them down. We need to be helping bees thrive.

So, no matter what you do you will piss someone off and might get killed as a result, either by the cops, your neighbors, strangers, or the bees.
