They commented that a green lawn wasn't really a status symbol for yourself, but rather your neighbors.
When I was young, we moved into a house my dad built new on an odd shaped lot. A triangular section of what had been our lot had been purchased by the neighbor, in hopes that no one would move in and conflict with the landscaping. This neighbor came over and told my dad how the landscaping should be done, so as not to conflict with his.
My dad proceeded to do everything the opposite of what this neighbor said.
