These are my thoughts from tonights only public concern.
One of the considerations in choosing a house would be: is there a yard and how big does it have to be. If you have little kids, pets, or want a garden you might want to sacrafice other amenities[like a nice view of the river] for a larger yard. I bought a house on a dead end street, which has some perks, but it was not the reason for buying the house. The main selling feature was the large yard because we knew we wanted at least one little pguston running around and maybe some four legged ones too. Regardless of the street traffic, we taught our young two and four legged family members to NOT PLAY IN THE STREET. So they play in our yard and are also taught not to play on PRIVATE PROPERTY. Keep your little kids in your yard. If your yard is not big enough, then use one of the parks or playgrounds. If you do not want to do that, then look for a house with a bigger yard. All the signs and speed bumps are no substitute for raising little ones in a safe environment.

If I had my druthers, I would have a house that sits way back in the woods with a long driveway so that you knew if someone was coming down that driveway, it was someone you knew, and you would know that they were coming to see you.
Living on Swan Hollow Road has it's good points and bad. The speeders on this road is ridiculous. The amount of dogs that are allowed to roam free and come harass my dogs is ridiculous. No kids, but the Amish buggies drive my dogs insane. They don't find them cute like I do.
I don't think that there is a perfect place to live. We have to create our own environment and make it what we wish, (of course if the Town or Village allows us to), and will give us a permit! LOL! You have to take the good with the bad.
I grew up in a city, and we played where we could. We would get chased out of a few plces an go somewhere else.
Mrs Saporito says the cars on Rock Street are going too fast for her little ones to play safely, while Mrs Peck says the same cars are going too slow for her to worship and exit the same street in a reasonable amount of time.
"Mrs Joe Saporito, I'd like you to meet Mrs Pookie Peck. Mrs Peck, tell her how you had the meters taken out so YOU could drive faster and scare her little ones."
You know what? Yer both nuts!
