source Advocates. The proposal is part of a turf war waged since at least 2003, when the water authority banned developers from planting green front yards in new subdivisions. It also offers owners of older properties the region’s most generous rebate policies to tear out sod — up to $3 per square foot. Those efforts are slowing. The agency says the number of acres converted under its rebate program fell last year to six times less than what it was in 2008. Meanwhile, water consumption in southern Nevada has increased 9% since 2019. Last year was among the driest in the region’s history, when Las Vegas went a record 240 days without measurable rainfall. And the future flow of the Colorado River, which accounts for 90% of southern Nevada’s water, is in question. The waterway supplies Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Wyoming and Mexico. As drought and climate change decrease

what the river provides, the amount allocated to Arizona, California and Nevada is projected to be cut further. Justin Jones, a Clark County commissioner who serves on the water authority’s board, doesn’t think ripping out ornamental turf will upend people’s lives. “To be clear, we are not coming after your average homeowner’s backyard,” he said. But grass in the middle of a parkway, where no one walks: “That’s dumb.” “The only people that ever set foot on grass that’s in the middle of a roadway system are people cutting the grass,” Jones said. The agency has different regulations for yards and public parks. Based on satellite imaging, it believes banning ornamental grass will primarily affect common areas maintained by homeowner associations and commercial property owners. Jones said the proposal has drawn resistance in some master-planned communities, but water officials say years of

drought-awareness campaigns and policies like the rebates have cultivated a cultural change. Southern Nevada Homebuilders’ Association lobbyist Matt Walker said consumer preferences have reached the point that potential homebuyers from wetter regions aren’t turned off from neighborhoods that have parks but no ornamental grass. Conservation frees water, reduces per capita consumption and strengthens builders’ arguments that the desert can accommodate more growth, Walker said. “And the benefits are the ability to keep doing what we do, which is building homes.” “We’ve really gotten a comfort level that buyers are very much willing to go along with responsible development practices when it comes to water use,” he added. Other desert cities aren’t so sure. Salt Lake City has an ordinance that requires a certain amount of yard and median greenery. Phoenix, where some neighborhoods remain lush from flood irrigation, has never offered grass

removal rebates. Water officials elsewhere are loath to compare their policies to southern Nevada. Particularly in cities where water consumption per person is high, they say there’s no one-size-fits-all approach for a drier future. Las Vegas, for example, mostly ignores toilets, showers and dishwashers because the water authority is able to treat and recycle indoor wastewater and let it flow through a natural wash into Lake Mead — the Colorado River reservoir behind Hoover Dam. It is filtered again for reuse. A draconian anti-grass policy might not work in down-

town Phoenix, said Cynthia Campbell, water resources adviser for the nation’s fifth-largest city. Trees and grass blunt public health dangers of “ urban heat islands “ — areas lacking green landscaping to offset heat through evaporative cooling. Regional water officials understand future consumption will have to be reduced but fear the preparation and perception could backfire if the community doesn’t buy in. “There comes a point when people’s demands start to harden,” Campbell said. “They’ll say, ‘This is the point of no return for me.’ For some people, it’s a pool. For some people, it’s grass.”

Establishing a shady lawn For the Payne County area, when we are talking about turfgrass for shady lawns, the only practical choice is either Tall Fescue or a blend of Tall Fescue/Kentucky Bluegrass. Other shade grasses like Fine Fescue and Ryegrass simply cannot hold up to our summers. Zoysia, an alternative to Bermuda, often comes up in this conversation, but Zoysia is not a true shade-tolerant turfgrass. While it can indeed stand a bit more shade than Bermuda, its value as a true shade plant is over-rated. For any realistic hope at a good stand of turfgrass, there are only two times a year that Tall Fescue establishment should be

Home Grown KEITH REED attempted, spring and fall. Fall is by far the better choice as it allows the plant to fully mature before it is faced with enduring its first Oklahoma summer. Yet here we are in the spring and you are anxious to establish your lawn now. We understand that so here are a few important points to keep in mind to give you the best opportunity for success. Even if everything goes just right, you should still be prepared to

overseed this fall as there will also certainly be thin spots. Seed will not germinate in an area that has been treated with a crabgrass pre-emergence unless the herbicide barrier is destroyed with a vigorous tilling. To further complicate, we typically don’t recommend a heavy tilling because shade usually means sensitive (and easily damaged) tree roots are close by. A soil test can help us fine tune the fertilizer recommendations for

maximum growth. However, you cannot afford to lose 2 weeks of growing season right now waiting on the results of the test. We suggest you go ahead and collect a sample before you proceed. When you put down the seed, apply a good starter fertilizer such as 19-19-19 at 5lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. Let us know you’ve done that when you bring the sample to our office to be analyzed so we can adjust our recommendations accordingly. Purchase a high-quality seed featuring a blend of turf type Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass. There are many different named products on the market but a common one available locally

is Heartland Supreme. Apply it at 7-8 lbs. per 1000 sq.ft. Rake it in thoroughly and gently pack it down. It’s very important to keep the soil surface moist until most of the seed comes up. This may mean daily light watering for a week to 10 days. As soon as the new plants start to get an inch or so tall, begin changing the watering regime so that the soil surface dries out slightly between waterings. This will help the plants to develop a stronger root system. As the plants mature, you can

decrease the watering intervals slowly until you are watering no more than 2-3 times per week. Supplemental irrigation is critical, but overwatering can be lethal to new plants because it invites disease and root system decline. It’s tricky to strike a good balance but unfortunately, it’s impossible for us to give specific irrigation instructions because circumstances can vary greatly from location to location. Begin mowing using a sharp blade when the tallest plants get about 3 inches tall. Take care to mow often enough that you do not remove

Seller has few options when ‘preapproved’ loan is canceled About Real Estate DAVID MYERS against the buyers would likely be both costly and fruitless, unless you could prove that they purposely set out to defraud you. Your best choice would be to agree to cancel the sale, return the deposit and put your house back on the market. With sales strong and prices still rising in most parts of the nation, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a better-qualified buyer who might even make a higher purchase offer. ••• REAL ESTATE TRIVIA: A record-low number of homes for sale subsequently led to a record-low sales time, according to the most recent monthly report by the National Association of Realtors (www.realtor.org).

Contact some local VA-approved lenders for details. Also call the VA itself at 800-827-1000 or visit its website at www.va.gov. Thank you for doing your part to ensure that we’ll celebrate another year of freedom on July 4. ••• DEAR DAVE: We were interested in your recent column that explained how middle-class homeowners can reap benefits by creating a simple

living trust. But if we formed a trust, would our heirs be able to find out what assets we placed into the trust and how we want our estate divided after we die? We will both probably live another 30 or 40 years, but we don’t want our heirs to start fighting over our possessions now! ANSWER: Don’t worry. Most people who form an inexpensive living trust do so because, unlike a will, a trust is

not subject to long and costly probate proceedings. But an added benefit is that because a trust is a private document, you don’t have to tell anyone what property is held in the trust or how you have chosen to have the assets distributed after you pass away. And because no probate will be needed even after you die, one heir won’t automatically be able to find out what the other heirs receive.

a certain amount of money -- in this case, $275,000. If you read the fine print, though, you’ll find that the bank can cancel its preapproval for any number of reasons. Those causes can range from a below-market appraisal of the house that the buyer wants to purchase to the unexpected loss of a borrower’s job or a sudden drop in the buyer’s credit score. Your letter doesn’t say why the lender yanked the buyers’ loan preapproval. But if the purchase offer you signed included a standard contingency stating that the buyers are not obligated to complete the transaction if they cannot get suitable financing, you have little choice but to terminate the proposed deal and return the buyers’ deposit.

Now my wife and I would like to refinance the VA mortgage on our home and pull some cash out to add another bathroom and make some repairs. Will the Department of Veterans Affairs guarantee a cashout refinance loan based on the equity that we have built up since we bought it, or will it only refinance the outstanding balance of our current mortgage? ANSWER: The VA’s Cash-Out Refinance Loan program will let you refinance your house and pull some money out for just about any reason, including to make home improvements, pay off other debt or to fund a college education. It will cover up to 100% of your property’s current value, rather than the price that you originally paid.

Suing a buyer or their bank after a home-sale falls apart is usually a fruitless proposition, even if the buyer had a lender’s preapproval for enough financing to close the deal. DEAR DAVE: I accepted an offer last month to sell my home for $249,000, in part because the buyers provided a certificate from their bank stating that they were preapproved for a loan of up to $275,000. But now the buyers have notified me that they are cancelling the sale, because the lender will no longer give them the mortgage that they were promised. Can I keep the buyers’ good-faith deposit and sue them for breaching the sales contract? ANSWER: You could sue, but you probably would not win. Smart buyers always get “preapproved” for a mortgage before they start shopping for a home. The bank typically issues a letter, certificate or card that suggests that the buyers can borrow

of like the battle of the busiest,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Oh, you’re so busy? No, I’m so busy.’” Most of the digital nomads we studied had been lured into what urbanist Richard Florida termed “creative class” jobs – positions in design, tech, marketing and entertainment. They assumed this work would prove fulfilling enough to offset what they sacrificed in terms of time spent on social and creative pursuits. Yet these digital nomads told us that their jobs were far less interesting and creative than they had been led to expect. Worse, their employers continued to demand that they be “all in” for work – and accept the controlling aspects of office life without providing the development, mentorship or meaningful work they felt they had been promised. As they looked to the future, they saw only more of the same. Ellie, 33, a former business journalist who is now a freelance writer and entrepreneur, told us: “A lot of people don’t have positive role models at work, so then it’s sort of like ‘Why am I climbing the ladder to try and get this job? This doesn’t seem like a good way to spend the next twenty years.’”
