I agree that there is a "fetish" about front lawns looking perfect here. It probably comes from those from "up north" that get used to the easy-to- look-good soft grasses that grow in the north. Most people in The Villages NEVER use their front yard for anything. Why not allow (and encourage) people to have rock gardens for 50% of their yard. That way the rain water gets down to the aquifer with less evaporation and use by the grass.
...........Also, the golf courses spray water for great distances and that has to produce a lot of evaporation. Maybe the golf courses should be shorter and more par 3s take their place.
