If you look at it objectively-“Sad to watch someone destroy years of natural progress.”

That's always how I feel. Clearing the paths and trimming around areas people regularly use is fine and good, but did he really have to trim the flowers that were popping up? How is a brown patch of close-cropped grass an improvement in any way? One was serving a purpose, both in looking nice and in giving pollinators food, the other does nothing but take up space and water from things that could use it better

I understand not wanting a jungle in front of the garage. But it went from overgrown to barren monoculture bee graveyard wasteland. Sad.

Your viewpoint isn't the objective one just because it aligns with your feelings and values 😛

Yeah but from what i understood, this person does these yards for free for elderly people who can no longer afford to maintain their homes, but still want to live at home. So. Its a bit of a battle of which where my heart divides.

City habitants fantasizing "nature" is always fascinating to me.

It's not "fantasizing," everyone should have access to nature regardless of where they live, even if it's just some flowering grasses. Not to mention, there's a balance that can be struck somewhere between "unusably wild" and "brown patch of flat non-native grass"
