MODERATORS
IMO one of the most problematic area for lawns is not really conservative area, like bible belts; but old money area like several super rich neighborhoods in blue (and red states, but good amount of them are in blue).
These people care about social status more than money or really anything else. they are happy to dump all the pollution and spends a shit load of money, just be accepted in their "high-class neighborhood".
The biggest problem (in the US) has to be all the suburbs, especially those with HOAs, and rental properties.
These places aren't likely to change anytime soon. It's weird cus clover and no maintenance lawns would be ideal for everyone, but who knows.
