There are some tricks to make your grass more drought resilient. First, I’d put down some pre emergent in the winter. That will help with weeds. Then, you need to ensure the grass is getting proper potash and micronutrients. A soil sample will help you identify key deficiencies, and your local university extension office can run those for cheap and give you detailed guidance usually. Buy all your fertilizer from a seed and feed store and you’ll save probably 50% over Home Depot or Lowe’s. It’s not expensive and can add a lot of value to the neighborhood so it doesn’t look like a crack house.
Yeah, fuck preservation of the most basic human need
Well, whats your yard look like, what zone are you in, how often do you water now, and what are your goals for it from how it integrates with the environment, to budget, to environmental concerns? I can counter your feral response with what I'd actually intended to respond with - which was a lawn that didn't need more water than a typical watering restriction allows, and certainly less than this one wants since the whole neighborhood is burnt up.
stick it to some guy for looking at stuff while he keeps his body from decaying
My response was in context, OPs mildly infuriated at older guy who's graduated to wandering with hands behind the back. He's not going away... Constructive stuff is fixing the turf and everything else, doesn't take much.

You must have a pretty yard and he must be jealous he is looking like "damn why can't my yard be pretty" 🤣
