I don't know how this is a counter-point, isn't it just a point? Can lawns co-exist with no lawns?

EDIT: parent has removed "counter-point".

Indeed. Small lawn for sports and activites + large forest garden is a nice combo if it's an option.

Sure, fair.

I read your comment can be read as a reconfirmation of the articles thesis that we love lawns because they are always great for people where I am offering a counter-point that kids also love non-lawn yards.

Not creating an argument- just offering a different point.
