The thing about Taipei is that it has easy-to-get-to parks with loads of space and room to walk around. Why would I need a lawn, when I can hike around in the Yuanshan Scenic Area? What use would I have for a big yard, when a short ride on the train will get me to the seashore by Danshui? If they had done the typical American thing and just left some half-assed green spaces here and there, and made all the really cool parts inconvenient to get to, then Taipei would kind of suck to live in.
It's not just a different approach to housing. It's a different approach to urban design.

- pjscott 15y agoI can understand that. Dogs are a lot more fun when they have room to themselves. For those of us who don't have dogs, though, my point still stands. :-)
