So much this. I will never understand why somebody would want to own a one-family house if they aren't going to at least have a goat or something.

Doesn't have to be a farm, but houses are for people who want to work the land at least in some capacity. Hell, at least have a solid garden!

You can have a community garden in an apartment complex, or at least garden on your balcony.

Yes you can. But it's stupid to have a whole house and not have any of that.

I've so far lived 3 months in the Valley and those houses are ridiculous. Super big, with a yard that is huge, but useless for anything other than parking your bike, possibly having a few deck chairs, and keeping the front-lawn perfect for absolutely nobody.
