This is a side rant, but as a newcomer to your wonderful country, it’s depressing how many homes for sale have completed tiled backyards.

I totally get it from a maintenance perspective, especially when they are so small already, but at least get fake turf or something!

Hopefully in another twenty years there will be more grass :)




There's a whole Twitter/Mastodon account dedicated to this, with many before/after comparisons when a house gets sold. Really depressing sometimes when beautiful trees get cut down for example

The name is pun, directly translated it's 'maintenance poverty'
