Nature needs agency

  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 mean, right now I’m shopping for a house with a decent sized property so I can grow a permaculture food forest to get fresh healthy veggies and fruit.

    20’ of lawn is like enough for two rows of fruit trees and berry bushes

      Yeah, but most people aren’t trying to grow a food forest. It’s unlikely you’re shopping for a city or suburbia house, either. You probably want more land a bit farther out.

      Also are you trying to grow fruit trees and food plants in your front yard? That’s mostly what I have a problem with. Back yards/gardens make more sense for stuff like growing food, decks, pools, etc.

      But why would you want that in front of the house and not behind?

    The housing issue is not about space.

      Different housing issue. Separate from high costs or homelessness. Just about how neighborhoods and cities are designed.

    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.)

  I mean, that’s awesome, but I like doing stuff in my yard. And that means either some kind of plant resistant to bring repeatedly stepped on, or some form of stone or wood.
