[quote=Anonymous]Like the OP, I live on a busy street that backs to several cul-de-sacs. I sense in her post an element of frustration that I sometimes share - some of the cul-de-sac families act like our busy street is such an awful place to live but in her case they're also taking advantage of the proximity and access it provides.

We don't have the same problem, but living in such close proximity to others can pose a lot of these dilemmas. Personally I value my privacy and while I accept that there will be dog walkers staring in my front windows every day, it's unnerving to find someone in my backyard unexpectedly.

Still, I think the only solution is to embark on a big landscaping project with a fence and/or shrubbery to prevent access from the back. You can tell the neighbors Covid has made you value your outdoor space. They may be annoyed but no one would question your right to improve your property. Simply demanding the kids stay off your lawn will make you look like the neighborhood jerk.[/quote]
