> enjoy my private backyard This is a misconception I see all the time. Living in a city, and even in an apartment, does not preclude having a private backyard. The choices are simply not just "detached house" or "skyscraper". I live in an apartment, don't own a car, yet I have a private backyard large enough to grow trees or build a decent DIY shop.
