My home is on a 9k lot. Almost twice the size of this but I can't fit anything near that. I guess majority of my space is take up by the front lawn and driveway.
Your house is also probably a lot bigger than what's pictured.
"Can't fit anything because the space is taken up by empty space."
I mean ripping up a concrete driveway in a suburb isn't exactly prudent.
Well no, but it still comes across a bit weird to say
Right. The whole "you do have space it's just being used by something else"
And while I agree that the use of my lawn and driveway are not a good use of space, it's just not practical to have a homestead like the one shown in our current suburb. Which is what I'm assuming the 1/10th of a lot of land will be in. Because if you're anywhere in a rural area that can have a plot laid out in this style you'll most likely also be working on more than a tenth of an acre.
