Why do none of the new development townhouses have tiny yards?

As someone who spends a lot of time outside, I would hate to have nowhere to sit, read, watch the grill, etc in privacy. Especially for those out in the outer suburbs. OK, move far away from the city only to have a house with no yard, and you are still dropping $700K. I don't get it.

Not everyone is foolish enough to add yard maintenance and dog feces removal to their daily routine.
