In Arizona and other water starved states they use artificial grass in their lawns, and some of them look reasonable. I am starting to see the trend in the bay area as well.

Instead of not having grass yards, maybe people should just go the full mile and not live in areas completely inhospitable to human life?

A watered desert is actually extremely humanly hospitable for the majority of the year (probably more so than less temperate areas like central & eastern europe or the midwest).

Central and Eastern Europe are bearable, if you put clothes on.

The high deserts of the western united states (generally speaking) even more so :)
