I have over three acres to deal with. I do this mantra every day. “It’s not a lawn, it’s a meadow!” Last night, I saw tiny deer ears peaking out of the grass. Two newborn fawns were lying down in the front yard near the fig. I also have tons of lightning bugs. Those with poisoned lawns can’t say the same thing.
I told the neighbors that I preferred my “natural forest floor” lawn, complete with its soft ground cover of dead leaves and pine needles (it was a place a unicorn would find homey).

The need to sound better seems contrary to diversity of any kind.

Most horses I know would happily mow the lawn. Om nom nom

Watering, dumping fertilizer and pesticides, going over it with a noisy, stinky mower. Why do we have lawns again?

Why not rent space to others for an urban garden? Oh, wait, the condo association won’t allow it…
