That neighborhood in Madison was the best neighborhood I've ever lived in. The lots are narrow and deep and front yards are small and shallow. You could sit on the front stoop and drink beer and watch the kids play. Neighbor would come over and crack a cold one and we'd sit and talk and watch the kids until the bugs started coming out or it got too cold -depending on the time of year. The back yard was for privacy.
Here the lots are wide and shallow. Looks like you are living in a big house from the front, but in the back my neighbor - who sunbathes - is nearly on our deck. For us the back is mostly vegetable garden, so they have to look at the compost piles and tomato cages. It's not worth moving back to Madison, but I wish a developer would design a neighborhood like that and the zoning board would allow it.

This is how a neighborhood of well-raised people killed by Ebola looks like. No visible puke-spots on the streets. No sign of panic.
