But even a 20 square foot backyard is bigger than a patio hanging off the side of an apartment suite.

That's true, but tiny backyards are not bigger than the parks and other recreational areas found every few blocks in the city. The same is true for the suburbs, for that matter. Since the yards are so miniscule, kids need to go to the parks (or schoolyards, etc.) found in every suburban community to play anyway. It's really no different than the situation in the core.
