Some people think new homes need to be built with private outdoor space such as a garden, yard, or balcony. Do you think this is more advantageous or more disadvantageous?

It is a widely known fact that in the developing world, a majority of people are willing to live in a house which could have some private outdoor space like garden, yard or balcony, to do some activity while others prefer to exist through in skyscraper or flat. It seems to me that living in a house with space has pros and cons, which I would explain in the forthcoming paragraphs.

On one hand, some people argue that living in a house constructed in outdoor space has many benefits. Having a garden, yard and balcony means more private place where owners can simply cultivate various types of plants and vegetables. Moreover, outdoor spaces are healer because nature helps to reduce the stress level. Also, the time when you spend on outdoor, gives you happiness and peaceful life. For example, when I was in university, I usually went on a picnic with my classmates in a park. I realised that doing some activity outside increased my delightfulness and joy. In addition, outdoor space such as balcony can be utilized for having breakfast or sitting on the balcony.

On the other hand, others claime that having outdoor space is quite luxurious, and nowadays a lot of people can not afford to live in such a place. Furthermore, these days most of the buildings which have outdoor spaces are constructed far from city center. What is more, this is not only because of lack of land in urban places but also due to the fact that it requires a lot of money when you need to repair or paint the house. For instance, in the present circumstances a large group of humans do not desire to continue their lives in rural places due to their jobs and business. As a matter of fact, living in a house with outdoor spaces can have other drawbacks like security issues, cleaning and throwing the rubbish.

To sum up, there are certainly both strengths and weaknesses of having private outdoor space. The houses which have special outdoor gaps such as a garden, yard and balcony are very important in our social lives. While it is true to say that, in the recent times most houses are too expensive and they lack enough space.
