In the neighborhood where my brother and sister in law live, there are no fences between the houses. Some have rows of trees or shrubs. A small number do have fences enclosing a pool or for safety for an elderly parent or a special-needs child but the village only allows physical fences in certain situations. I know some of their neighbors have these fences but I don't know how effective they are.
