Why do people care if grass is tall? lawns were invented by rich French nobility to show off how they could afford to have nothingness gardens instead of productive farm land.

Because that's still their function. Just try growing food crops on your lawn! And "low status" neighbors makes a "low status" neighborhood makes you "low status".

Also prohibited: washing lines. What, you can't afford to inflate your carbon footprint with a dryer on this beautiful sunny day? What are you, poor?

Stay off their lawn, then? (Also, tall grass doesn’t really attract rodents. It just gives them a place to hide. Food in uncovered garbage is a much bigger issue.)
