Steve lives about 200 miles south of Flagstaff on the west side of the Metro Phoenix area. I assure you, if he has an HOA, he has grass.
I drove through there near phoenix while visiting family a few years ago. It was almost surreal. One of the HOA neighborhoods was neat & tidy, but there was absolutely NO individuality to any of the homes. You know that book *a wrinkle in time?* That neighborhood was JUST like that. Each house identical. You could just visualize a kid bouncing balls in unison on the front walk & all the Mom's coming to the door at the same time to call them inside. Unbelievable.
I'd have to plant some kind of unauthorized plant/bush out front just to be a rebel.
