I'd also argue that having a lawn you can dig up and garden is not a de facto house thing, I know many landlords who are happy to have their tenants garden. I also know of a few rental buildings that have community gardens next door or nearby.

I think there is more flexibility in the rental market than most people realize.

It's interesting because there are also many parallels with the apartment/condo vs. townhome/detached home freedoms.

I have the latter because I like having a hot tub and gardening, but I'd really rather not maintain a sidewalk (and this year, a roof), and pickup garbage in my yard etc., which is something I could only get with the former apartment/condo.

I think the point I'm getting around too is that it's important to have a variety of housing options to suit individual needs. And we should stop using shame/social pressure/assumptions to imply that one is better than another.
