I think that you are indeed typical. People are retired and meticulous care of a lawn, no matter that most are much smaller lawns than the homeowner had before is not as much a priority as it once was, .....
That being said, I still think that driving around our streets and roads is truly a wonderful and beautiful tour. The combination of deed restrictions and lack of overdone yard art, coupled with lawn service being on speed dial makes most of our town look like the grounds of Vanderbilt or Hearst Castle. Miles and miles and miles of roadway with nicely kept bushes and trees and replacement of seasonal flowers and redoing of mulch in the common areas and lovely cut lawns and trimmed bushes along with some very pretty flowers in the residential sections gives a very welcoming and consistent appeal everywhere.
I guess that it has a lot to do with whether we are looking at what is wrong or what is right...
