Also there are interesting things that can probably be studied from that, like is that healthier or better for the environment than living in packed urban areas?

Maybe if you're worried about CO2 emissions having those CO2 eating beings in your backyard could be a better option.

Probably not easy to quantify.

That pristine suburban lawn isn't C02 negative.

It doesn't have to be an artificial, shiny-green lawn. It can be a green space of native plants as well.

Also, grasses can be great CO2 sink as well, depending on the conditions and maintenance routine: https://sustainability.stackexchange.com/questions/4534/is-g...

Neither is living in a crowded urban area or riding bikes.

But OK let's not nitpick, I'm not talking about only regarding CO2, it was just an example of something that is relevant these days for a lot of people.

My point is that would be interesting to study this as matter of what kind of life would be better, given different metrics.
