[Augustine23647]

Historically, white Americans have obsessed on their lawns and home exteriors. This is also a generational thing, as the 1950s “Keeping up with the Joneses” mentality is now that of the retirement generation.

In our situation, we are thirty-something and live in a largely retirement-age community (we like our house and like the location). There are scads of homeowners association regulations, and we do just what we have to for compliance. We have other priorities. Left to our own devices, we’d probably just let weeds flourish and not force grass to grow where it doesn’t want to. We use a simple manual lawn mower.

To sum up, it’s not so much a racial thing as it is generational and also based on how much you care what other people think when they drive by. We’d prefer people judge us by the content of the character we aspire to, rather than what we have or what our house looks like.
