Is it more cheaper to keep paying high $$$ on water usage than replacing the lawn with plants that are less demanding (water)?

Probably not. However the pain of going through the research of which are "drought resistant" plants, and THEN finding ones that you actually like might be a pain. More so if you have a larger lawn.

However the replacement can simply be "leave it where it is" and simply dig holes and put in plants as you see fit, this way you don't have to replace the whole thing at once, and eventually the shade from the other plants will shade the grass, and you not watering it will make it go away. Although I am a big fan of using a lot of mulch around the base of all my plants, also helps keep the soil moist while stopping the grass from encroaching on that water supply. That with drip lines for irrigation and your grass won't be an issue.

You're not missing anything. Future isn't as good as the OG ones.
