Re: people who don't rake their [expletive] yards
At a place me and some buddies used to rent we had so many damn trees it was ridiculous.
Every fall we would throw a leaf raking party were we would get a couple kegs and get drunk and rake.
When you have 8-10 guys doing it, you knock it out in no time. We would literally have 30-40 recycle bags full of leaves.
We had to do it a year or two w/ just 3 of us and it was miserable. It was normally a weekend project.

Craftsman yard vac. Like a lawnmower with a vacuum that shreds the leaves.
And it has a chipper shredder!!

I've got one and it's the best purchase I have ever made. I've got sweet gum trees and it also sucks up and chops up those spikey balls.

I tend to my 10 x 12 piece of greenery religiously: seed, edge, mow weekly, rake, aerate, etc.. The leaves get chopped up and put on the vegetable patch in back as mulch/fertilizer for next spring. The neighbors on the block call me the Lawn Nazi.

I don't see much of a point unless you're looking for free mulch (then it makes perfect sense). Sure, grass needs sunlight, but decomposing leaves give nutrients to the grass to IIRC.
