Default Re: to fence or not to fence

I just went thru the Hemmingway/Bonita area. Can't tell for sure, but it appears that these are ranches that now or will back to villas. They seem to have extended the walls (not fences) to the houses and put walls/gates between the ranches. To each his own, but I don't think I'd like it too much. The back yards aren't that big and the walls would be just as claustrophobic as I find the villa yards. Picket fences would be one things, but walls? No. I've found one of the great advantages of living in a ranch community is backyard interaction (I was going to say intercourse, but I was afraid of the giggles) amongst neighbors. Maybe I lived too long in apartments and condominiums, but I love the camaraderie and am not concerned about perceived loss of privacy.
