The whole backyard firepit probably was (is?) a good idea when the yards are reasonably sized....like the older (15+years old) neighborhoods. We just moved out of one of the fishbowl neighborhoods in Royal Oak and the fact that firepits are allowed in the city is ridiculous/ludicrous etc, etc, etc, when you live in a spot like that.
Think about it, they are so close together that they are legislating building materials and codes so they can keep cramming them together and try to avoid a fire, but they allow a firepit in the backyard.
I like a firepit....I do not like not being able to open my window in the summer and worrying about my house catching fire.
