alt Hacker NewsIn 2023, 54% of the housing units in the US were single family detached, https://eyeonhousing.org/2024/10/owner-occupied-single-famil.... I guess some of those could not have yards, but that is pretty rare to not have any sort of yard in a single family detached home.
2/3 of home buyers have single family detached as their preferred housing, so more people want to live in that type of housing than currently do so.

Hear hear! Thank you. People are downvoting like mad because they want to drive their own agendas and are afraid of reality, except reality stands undefeated. Everyone wants a piece they call their own. Fighting against it is fighting against basic human nature. Give up your climate agenda. It's dead. Even Bill Gates said it.

In the area with which I'm familiar it's a zoning/planning requirement to dedicate some proportion of lot area to yard. I forget the details -- it's been a while since I dug into this. I think that's also why mother in law units became popular in some jurisdictions: a workaround for yard area requirements since it piggy backs on the existing home yard arrangement.
