    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

      There’s a reason this is called a “dream”.

      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.

    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.

    Maybe 1 or 2 of those friends is worth living next to. The rest are “friends” and make this a nightmare situation. You never wanted to be around them THAT much.

    Hell. I don’t want a huge house. And where’s the commerce and culture?

    Plus that big wide field where your kids are going to be snacked up by rocs.

    It would get old fast because I don’t drive a car and would turn crazy in such a neighbourhood.

    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.

    Houses are too big + the yards too small.

    No thanks.

      Also little actual greenery. I couldn’t call these gardens.

    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.

    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

    Yeah had a neighbor that would just pop in all the time. It was cool until it wasn’t. We moved and barely speak now. I think I know one person in my new neighborhood and it’s very much just an acquaintance.

    It looks like a hell to me. No fences for the dogs and other pets. No hegges for privacy Big grass a lit of work at least once a onth.

    An ‘enfer c’est les autres’ kinda place.
