One of the problems with such a lawn in an urban or suburban environment is it is the perfect environment for vermin such as mice and rats.
My neighbour has a small area behind their garage that has long weeds and grass. It's about 5 meters square but it's got loads of mice in it.
Even all the neighbourhood cats combined can't catch all the mice since the mice breed so fast. The mice have started to invade other barns and homes of neighbours but at this point the amount is controllable.
It's an older couple who own the property so people are not going to say anything. And it's out of sight but it's amazing how a little thing, grass area I mean, can blow up into a problem with so many mice.
The previous owners were junk collectors and lived in the driveway in an RV and only worked outside at night ever see The Burbs movie? Some people really want or need or should be in a home in the country but they can't afford to move.
Heh. This reminds me of the mystery in the movie The Burbs.
I doubt it, they did everything at night.
Kids all milking the government. One daughter with a tube in her nose yet she and her four kids from four men go with her new husband #5 and collect old bikes which they pile up in their Habitat for Humanity free home.
The wife on disability too and morbidly obese supposedly with back problems dead lifting entire BBQs (junk) into the back of a pickup truck.
The father an ex postal worker encouraged to retire after smashing a windows at work (where everyone hated him).
Renting their house but living in an RV on the street, engine blew so they now live in a motel.
I counted 15 cars in their yard, one in working condition, and their have more at their country "compound".
On and on and on.
Watch the movie The Burbs, it could have been filmed next door to me.
