Скачать или смотреть The Death of the Backyard: The Urban Squeeze

The American backyard didn’t vanish by accident — it was engineered out of existence. From quarter-acre lots in the nineteen seventies to five-thousand-square-foot parcels today, this is the story of how zoning changes, builder math, and private equity quietly reshaped suburbia. Bigger houses. Smaller lots. Higher prices. And a patio where a childhood used to be. 🏠

We break down the data behind shrinking lot sizes, the role of HOAs, the rise of self-storage, and why the people in real estate aren’t buying what’s being built. If you’ve ever walked into a “new build” and felt something was missing, this is what it was. Do you still dream of a real backyard? 🌳
