If you have to use crazy amounts of water to keep grass alive you should not have grass. Or fake grass.

I have a visceral hatred of grass from having to mow a giant lawn that would keep triggering my allergies. But yes, the water usage is extra stupid. They were initially meant to be a sign of wealth, as if to say you can waste money, land, and resources on something with no productive purpose.
