Can anyone confirm this for me and if so, why would this be? Seems like people are being shorted a bit of yard space in the new Shirogane if they purchase a large house.
Are you basing these steps on the amount of steps on the distance between the fence, and the edge of the red area that shows up in an empty plot when you get close to it?
You have to keep in mind that the red area encompasses every part of the mansion, including the balcony that hangs over the front yard a bit.

To get the correct comparison, you have to walk until you reach the edge of the area just under the balcony (not right under, as you can't enter the red area of an empty plot).
Using Mist plot 5 and Shirogane plot 30 (since both are identical to each other), I counted the same amount of steps when taking the above mentioned part in mind.
