What if your city paid you to use less water?

Imagine the city rolled out a deal where you get cash back for swapping to drought-friendly landscaping or installing low-flow toilets. Would you actually go for it, or is the hassle not worth the savings? I keep thinking about my yard, but I’m not sure if I’d miss the grass... anyone else torn?

I tried to get one of those “cash for grass” rebates a couple years back—turns out the paperwork was more intense than my grad school apps. They wanted maps, receipts, before/after photos... I half-expected them to ask for a blood sample. But a neighbor actually pulled it off and got a decent chunk back, so it’s not just an urban legend. The trick is surviving the forms (and, yeah, your HOA’s ancient landscaping rules). Sometimes it feels like the real incentive would be free therapy for dealing with all the bureaucracy.
