if you can’t be responsible and respectful with SIX neighbors then you don’t deserve the privilege of owning property.
Everyone’s dream =
I’m not seeing an A/C unit on this thing anywhere.
I suddenly remember all those 80s and 90s sitcoms where the friends live right nearby and wall right into each others homes without knocking and just start talking without any greetings. This picture is just as unrealistic.
No one outside of high school has six friends.
No one makes friends with six random neighbors. And certainly they don’t all consider each other friends.
There’s a reason this is called a “dream”.

Me, a guy with maybe a dozen friends I hang out with on a weekly basis, whistling past the graveyard of loneliness

One trick to living in a cul de sac with six of your closest friends is to meet your neighbors and become friends with them. I’ll say that COVID really helped me with this, personally, because during the peak I was just out on the driveway or walking the local trails trying not to go stir crazy and… so was everyone else. Pretty soon we were doing impromptu parties on the driveway and yoga on the lawn and whatever else we could to avoid the isolation of a pandemic.
But you don’t need a killer virus to wave to your neighbors, say hi, and strike up a conversation. And there’s a compounding effect. When two people are out talking, you’re likely to pick up a third. When five people are hanging out at the end of a day, it can quickly become ten or more.
If it’s an instinctual response to wish for this kind of thing, it shouldn’t be hard to imagine people gravitating towards these relationships IRL.

Houses are too big + the yards too small.
No thanks.
I consider the ideal distance for friends and family to be 1hr walk/5-10 min drive.
Except for my youngest sister. For her, an Emirates gold flyer program.
My aunt and her family lived in a place like this. It was such a weird vibe. We never walked or rode our bikes anywhere, we just played in the yard.
I literally cannot comprehend secured housing. Its like a dragon or unicorn. Sounds rad AF, but 10,000% unrealistic.
secured housing
I’m not familiar with this term. help?
I think they mean not renting? Or maybe living in a defensible space??
Right. “Comprehend” is the wrong word, it should have been they can’t imagine ever having secured housing.
I know what it means, but not 100% sure it applies here
it means stable & affordable. like your landlord can’t kick you out, and your rent won’t be jacked up unreasonably
Who has 7 friends?
Friend 3 over there without even a driveway, we know who the charity case is lol
I didn’t even notice, but that’s so weird. Buy a house like that and park your car out front?
That’s Kenny’s house
I’d be so into this if there was something we could all walk to at the end of the block. Like a main st or something
Friend 3 runs the pub at the end of the block. Doesn’t even need a car.
Or a large wall with cannons and machine guns to keep out any trucks with flags on them.
I’m not social enough to live like this. I like my solitude; hence why I live out in the woods. I have the “option” of inviting friends over, or going to their house, but when I/we have had enough, we can all just leave and go back home and we’re not still looking at each other from across the road.
So friend 3 doesn’t have a vehicle and just bugs the others for rides?
Grove Street. Home. At least it was before I fucked everything up.
My dawg, this is epic, I lived it. Granted, I haven’t kept up with those people for years, but they were my homies when I was a very young kid
I would kill to have my squad in close proximity like this. My friend group has been together since middle school, it would be a blast
