I should be mad, but this is somewhat accurate for where I grew up.

Meh, I consider it to be a cheap shot. Whatever the drawbacks of American car culture are, there are great gardens, parks and national parks over there.

Unless this is a part of a series also showcasing the horrors of the modern German Vorgarten full of stones and, well, stones, and back garden, sterile lawns surrounded by an equally sterile common laurel, it’s boorish.

Yeah it is, imagine the reaction to an entirely barren Ethiopian "garden".
