The Problem:
lack of community in neighbourhoods, lack of park space

The Social Invention:
If the neighbours on a block all took down their back fences, they would have a much bigger communal park they could all roam around in. This can allow you to do a lot more stuff , like go for runs, walks, play games that might be harder in a smaller space. It also allows for more community.

And its possible if everyone chipped in , you could more easily afford a swimming pool or a tennis court.
