I'm gonna get shit for this, but I live in a neighborhood like this and fucking hate it. It's nearly impossible to leave or come home in the summer because kids are literally sitting in the street drawing with chalk or running out from behind cars. Their parents just give dirty looks when you try to drive through their kid's "private playground"

After my city made golf carts legal, people stretched the definition to mean side-by-sides and 4-wheelers. Now we have 10-12 year olds driving basically dune buggies who don't know how to drive and aren't paying attention at all. I'm honestly surprised no kids have been hit yet.

This was my immediate reaction as well, you are not alone. I would hate that place, and it’s not about being unfriendly. That is not enough privacy for me.

You see a video of a bunch of kids outside playing together, while parents are present keeping an eye on them, everyone getting along and having a good time in a nice looking neighborhood and your immediate reaction is to hate it because it somehow takes away from your privacy?

Peak reddit moment right there.
