    Most people couldn’t afford that. But everyone had a living room and people would come over. Everyone had a grill and people would come over. Most people had kids and kids would come over.

    Life was much more real life social.

      When I was living in apartments, the nicer spots would have big community fire pits in between blocks. They were great for mixing and mingling with other apartment residents, especially during the holidays or weekends with good weather.

      One of the more annoying parts of being a home owner right now is getting people over to your place and finding places for all their cars. So much easier when everyone just kinda lives in the same two or three blocks and can walk over to catch a show or BBQ or play board games.
