Just wondering if this provides decent privacy from your lanai buddy in the back.

BTW: I don't mean a corner of a main st. just an inside corner lot.
Russ,

We lived on a corner lot (in Maine) for 10 years. People knocked on our door all times of day and night asking (sometimes damanding) directions or to use the phone (in the days before cell phones). Many drivers used our driveway as a turn around. At night, lights shone in the house when a car turned the corner. We heard lots of traffic noise.

I'm sure there are come nice corner lots, but it would have to be very special for me to buy one.

That my 2 cents worth.
