Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

When you have lived as many places as I have, you begin to appreciate the importance of establishing your boundaries.  Because so many of us have relegated ourselves to subdivision living, the need for a good fence has exponentially increased over the last 15 to 20 years.  This fact is especially true when living in urban and suburban areas.  It never ceases to amaze me how real estate developers have learned to cram so many houses into so few acres.  The difference between the average lot size of the 1970s as compared to those of today is difficult to comprehend.  Even higher end homes seem to be being built closer and closer together.  Maybe I am crazy, but if I'm going to spend $500.000 on a home, I expect to have some breathing room.

A few years back, we were living in a subdivision where the homes on each side of us were about 15 feet apart from ours.  Keep in mind, these were good sized new homes.  But this neighborhood was typical of so many being built today in that we were allotted one little tree strategically located directly outside the sliding glass doors at the rear of the house.  A few shrubs were planted out front, but the yard was hastily created and thus very spotty and uneven.  Only later did we start finding out that all the construction trash had been thrown into the back yard, plowed under, and then seeded over.  Granted our lot was actually larger than most in that neighborhood.  We had a whopping ½ acre to roam on.  But this was not nearly enough for me.  This reality was reinforced one afternoon while I was mowing the grass.
