We now share a wall with one neighbor and an association road with a dozen others. Before, for the first fifteen years two neighbors were over one football field away. Then for the next ten years four houses were intruding visually but still out of listening range.
Now we also are two miles closer to two busy thoroughfares into the city. Mail is still a one quarter mile round-trip walk (or bicycle ride). Setting out the trash is now a two car length lug on a flat surface. Before was a 377 foot uphill trudge on a gravel or snow packed drive.
And best of all a monthly fee results in a plowed and shoveled entry walk and garage pad.
Life is good.
News - words - thoughts.
