Why don't Americans plant trees and bushes of stuff that they can eat in their houses instead of having useless grass?

    Probably against HOA rules in many places.

        Because of 18th century French aristocracy, no shit.

        The real answer is because in America rich people buy houses, and then create HOAs in the housing deeds and contracts to force all future owners to maintain the house in a way that will increase the neighborhood property value forever.

        HOAs exclusively fight to make houses more and more “valuable” since housing is a financial investment here

          Thank you. So not having a proper garden increases the value?

            Most older (white) Americans think having any sort of enjoyment or color in anything is “gay”. Hence why so many American die of heart disease, because eating an apple is basically like giving a blowjob.
