[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a Virginia suburb where nice old homes are being torn down for $3 million McMansions.

Our block is a constant stream of:

--construction workers leaving Wendy's wrappers blowing around the street, then smoking and standing in front of our house on the street, looking in at our windows while taking breaks from work;

--landscape workers arriving at 6:30 am and firing up their riding lawnmowers at 100 decibels;

--Amazon delivery drivers parking in the middle of the street so that no one can get by;

--DoorDash drivers going 20 mph over the speed limit while blowing smoke out their windows (I bet the food tastes great); and

--"professional" dogwalkers walking in the middle of the street, looking at their phones while cars wait for them to move.

Meanwhile, we never see our actual neighbors; everyone is busy working and shuttling their kids around to activities.  The homes and yards are developed and maintained for the sake of themselves.[/quote]

That's really sad. I live in a deep urban neighborhood where folks are out and about all the time... working in their tiny gardens, picking up trash, playing with their kids, walking to local neighborhood restaurants. And yeah, smoking weed sometimes. I wouldn't trade with you. [/quote]
