We used to, GracieGirl, but we took it up last year and replaced it with Asian Jasmine ground cover (those low, dark green plants TV uses a lot).
It takes two years to establish, sending out runners and filling in the gaps, but is very low maintenance and, with deep roots, copes well with drier periods (we irrigate for half the minutes we used to with grass).
Our plans were well-received by the ARC, and the neighbors seem to like it. We are not "against" others having grass; this was just the way we wanted to go, for many reasons.
