See all that foliage around the lake? That's why you have fireflies in your yard/desert.

Isn't it nice? That's been carefully selected/managed by the HOA with the help of an ecologist. An effort which I have been managing since I joined the board 8 years ago. None of the yards are just no mow because you can have both tidy lots and natural spaces. We don't just leave it and see what happens.

Edit: What's growing there is intentional, and generally where it's growing (as a natural boundary and erosion control feature) is.

'HOA Board member' puts this entire thread of conversation into perfect context.

Why wouldn't I be on the board? It's mostly just my rental properties in here and the other meat farm execs.
