CA contractors/developers are so greedy, you can jump from roof top to roof top...Disgusting...
My first thought also.
Our house was built in 1978. We’re on a curve in the road so our lot is 1/3 acre and wraps all around the house. Even the houses with smaller lots are not really close together. When I visit someone in a newer tract I immediately think....I couldn’t live here. Even if they have a nice size back yard the houses are so close together you could hear your neighbor pee. Lol
