Making every yard a vegetable garden may be impractical, not everyone has the time or inclination or know how to grow vegetables. There should be a native trees/shrubs/ground cover starter pack list for each US region with plant-and-ignore native plants to replace invasive grasses like st Augustine and Bermuda grass.
Alternatively, depending on your preferences and financial situation, your HOA could do something useful for once and pay someone to care for all the veggies of the neighborhood.
It’s a matter of organisation, nothing more. All those useless, sad lawns could be beautiful places. Especially the one’s in the front.

Usually extension services in states have great resources for native planting etc.
