There are much better looking plants that convert even more from CO2 to oxygen, than grass, that are native to Florida, are naturally pest-resistant, easier and less expensive to maintain. And I wasn't asking if astro turf was allowed. I said I'd feel better about astro turf than I would with the red-ant-hiding, razor-blade-edged green stuff you all call grass down there. Doesn't mean I have any intention of actually doing that.

As for the sarcastic comment from VillageIdiot about my neighbors loving to have me move in and the popcorn emoji - if that's how people with differing opinions are treated in the Villages, then perhaps I should push for my husband to move us to the Carolinas instead. TV is the only place in Florida I'd be willing to move.

Just because I have certain opinions of what looks pretty and what doesn't, doesn't mean I plan on turning my yard into a wildscape. It'd be nice if I could, but I comply with regulations. That's why I ask these questions. To find out what the rules ARE. The attitude toward my opinions could use a step back though. It's not welcoming. At all.
