It's hard to detangle lawns from middle class America without stopping middle class kids play sports in their gardens.

They still play on the lawn? Thought by now they're kept mostly indoors (or in cars) for helicopter-parent-reasons, safety or sth. At least that's what I heard. A german news moderator for the US also mentioned it once, some Karens in the neighborhood thought of child neglect because the kids were playing in the front yard or going to the playground alone (gasp!).

Not really getting the point though. Most lawns are huge, there's enough space for playtime and some nice flowers or vegetables. Most houses even have a front and back lawn...

You might find an odd scenario of someone calling the cops on kids on a slow news day, but that is not the normal scenario anywhere.
