Front gardens are a benefit to everyone in the neighbourhood, maintained at cost to the owner. They are an anti-SUV, in a way. I could even support tax benefit

Front gardens are a benefit to everyone in the neighbourhood, maintained at cost to the owner. They are an anti-SUV, in a way. I could even support tax benefits for maintaining green space in the public view. The alternative (I saw this the UK) is that people turn their front garden into parking or expand their building towards the street.

Grassy front yards are a complete waste of space and water. Kids don't play on them. The person who uses a front yard to grow food is pretty rare. At the end of the day, too, we have a housing crisis, not a front-yard crisis.

  Lawns are bad but greenery is good. We can recognize the need to not recreate Kowloon in the context of a housing shortage.

    It's more likely that a man will jump to the moon than a North American municipality is to recreate a Kowloon.
