We have fruit trees and shrubs and flowers for birds and bugs. I capture rain water to reduce flooding issues due to paving everything, and use it to water instead of treated water.
But hey, concrete jungles are so much better.

Be honest though, what % of people with SFH do you think are engaged in all of this? My friends don't even park their vehicles in their garages half the time because they want room in there to smoke when it's cold.
