Kudos to Jose Escobedo, the guy with the artificial-turf lawn in Junius Heights. After the Landmark Commission ordered him to rip the lawn up, Escobedo’s vowing to take his lonely AstroTurf crusade to the City Plan Commission and the Dallas City Council, if necessary. I especially liked the anti-Escobedo commenter on an earlier Unfair Park post who said: “This is a historic district, so if you want something fake, move to Frisco.” (A Grade A example of holier-than-thou, phony aesthetic elitism.) Seems to me if you really wanted to save on water, everybody would put in one of these fake lawns.
