I wish we could get away from lawns entirely. I understand a back garden a bit, but why do we need 20’ of space between the house and sidewalk/road? We could fit a lot more houses in there if we didn’t have a useless bunch of space. Like we could have manicured parks in a lot of spaces and then a bunch of fields or forested areas where it wasn’t convenient to build homes for unusable green space.
I think in a new community that would be perfectly feasible, but I can’t see it working in existing neighborhoods without straight up tearing down a lot of homes first. (Or just throwing into a small house in every yard.)
