If I Ever -Neighborhood Design

If I Ever had the chance to design a neighborhood.

There are many things I would take into consideration.

The main thing being....
That people get visitors all the time.
That people have more than one car nowadays.

So I would design the streets and driveways to allow access to more cars.
I mean, the old neighborhoods there are plenty of areas for people to park.
But the new suburb developments?

Not so much.
You're lucky if you get like...one parking spot for visitors to park in.
And then it's a hunt to find other parking if you have more than car coming to see you.

*shakes head*
It's like they're trying to discourage socialization and parties and such.

I know it's all about "get as many houses into one area as possible to make more money."

But how hard is it to plan for visitor parking?

Like every four or fives houses, there's a section for visitors to park in, that has like 5 or 6 parking spots. Spots where only visitors could park.
So then you'll have the driveway, the area in front of the house, and then an additional section for visitors to park their cars where they won't get on the neighbor's nerves by clogging up the street.

Seems like a simple solution.
Perhaps it's already been done in some neighborhoods.

But to keep in mind that people like having other people over....would be a great idea when designing neighborhoods....
