City of Palm Springs offering Lawn Buyback Incentive Program

Apply by November 1, 2011 for city funds to help offset the costs of replacing turf with desert friendly landscaping.

I think this is a wonderful program, and one that I hope is successful.  Find the application HERE

When we removed our front lawn just after we bought our home in '04, the city didn't offer any incentive programs to reduce water usage (as regards to landscaping).  It's nice to see that we're making progress in promoting conservation!
