In reply to Tokyo Skyline Contrasts Against Grass Lawns in The Green Island Project
I agree with UntrueProphecy. Pretty to look at and very healthy for a city's runoff problems but entirely impracticable. Grass would be a buzzkill:
1. anywhere it snows
2. anywhere it rains
3. as long as people continue to mindlessly drop litter on the ground (main offenders - smokers, gum chewers, Tim Horton's coffee drinkers)
4. when your shoe finds that hidden treasure someone's dog left behind
5. when the dandielions take over
6. when burrowing animals take over
7. when City Hall has to choose between a massive Round-Up and pesticide spraying program or paying the wages for five thousand weed-pickers.
