So Long, Traditional Lawn. Conventional grass is costly, high-maintenance

Sorta naive question: So couldn't they invest the same (or less) amount of grey water to maintain a public park?

I don't know much about golf course lawn care, but it seems to be laborious and "beauty first".

Just imagine how many frisbee throwing or picnicking fields you could have on the area of one hole.

Maybe there are more egalitarian ways to use green spaces than some particular golf courses.

On the other hand, municipal golf courses open to everyone seem to be a thing? I don't know firsthand, I'm not a golfer.

In any case, I don't think the merits of parks vs. golf courses are relevant to people dying of thirst.
