[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live downtown dc only nearly a quarter acre.  We have a dog.  We walk her several times a day.  Is the need for a townhouse to have a yard associated with it being a lower income thing that people who can only afford a townhouse don’t walk their dogs?[/quote]

Yes, having a yard for the dog is a lower income thing  :roll:  Do you even hear yourself?

I walk my dog twice a day or I pay a walker. It's still nice to have a yard, for many reasons including a midday game of catch with the dog. I don't care for the roof deck arrangement with no yard, because it's sterile: no tree shade and nowhere to play.[/quote]

Right? Our TH had a small fenced yard but our neighborhood was filled with trails. Like PP, we walked our dog multiple times a day on the trails but there were also times when we could easily let it out back. Or when the kids were small we could have a small sand box or water table and play in our own yard rather than trek to a park.

We also had a nice patio area with fire pit and actually enjoyed using our small private yard for ourselves. Who knew it was a low income thing to want to spend time in your own home and yard…We found it nice to have a small amount of personal space since we already shared a wall and public space with the rest of the neighborhood.
