You should see all the empty lots where the houses burned down long ago in places like Flint. The lawns aren't mowed in the summers so they look like wheat fields and wildflowers grow like crazy.

It's a traffic hazard as the intersections have no visibility, nobody will mow because people dump junk in the empty lots and you'll hit bricks or metal and ruin the mower.

That does not sound like an argument against overgrown lawns but for speed limits and road designs that discourage fast driving. Here residential areas intentionally curve their roads so people can't drive fast because visibility is not all that great around house corners anyway.
