growing up in the '70s our front lawns were our playgrounds, but only for the kids. i have little recollection of the adults hanging on the front lawn socializing.

the design of our urban townhome neighborhood encourages socializing with the neighbors. but i give credit to how close we all are to each other and the sidewalk. it's nice to get a neighborly from the sidewalk or next door, but it's also impossible to avoid the neighborhood boor.

but i'm not ready to legislate that as the norm. there are obvious benefits, but people shouldn't be chastised just because the prefer the open space of the suburbs.

sometimes it would be nice to have a little space and privacy. seriously.
