My kids, dog, and friends seem to enjoy hanging out on my grass more than they'd enjoy hanging out on some trees, shrubs, and flowers. "Come on over and hang out in the shrubbery while I bar-b-que..."

As a very much secondary benefit, I get some exercise and a minor outdoor hobby.

I get a little here or there and intermixed with a stone path or courtyard, but I’d rather bbq off of a balcony in a condo near a big park.

It's almost as if people have different opinions about what constitutes the good life.

Except for the fact that due to historical precedent, our society isn't built in a way that enables affordable urban life outside of areas that have been historically considered blighted. If we had more urban spaces, there would be more cities that are affordable to the middle class, whereas now, the places that are affordable to the middle class are largely suburbs.

>bbq off of a balcony

Your local fire marshal might have something to say about that.

It’s legal in Toronto for my business partner’s mid rise condo.
