That's quite the stereotype... and it is not universally true.
On one side of my property, I have a wooden fence, almost 2m high. There are trees and bushes against it, and I'm starting a raspberry bramble.
On the opposite side, there's a low mesh fence which is intertwined with a number of trees.
On the back side, I have grape vines climbing over the native bushes and trees, and my property stops at the creek. In wintertime I can see the neighbors, and as soon as spring starts they disappear behind the greenery.
This is all fairly normal for my town outside of Boston.
- kyleee 5y agoThe stereotyping of America is reaching absurd and comical levels here on HN, I'm finding it very funny lately
- rootusrootus 5y agoI agree 100%. I'm amazed at the weird stereotypes I hear both here and on Reddit, and not a small amount of hate (or at least snobbish derision). I have a hard time relating what these people believe to the America that I live in.
- scsilver 5y agoHave you seen new construction that doesnt do this? All the non stereotypical urban development in america is vestigial. All old homes in old rich neighborhoods that could withstand the commoditization pressures. Any new build I have seen are really sad large identical houses with barely room between them, selling for 600k+. Its like the worst aspects of multifamily housing without the dense walkability of a village or city.
