"It would get old fast"? Op, I'm afraid you don't have good friends. When I was a university student, I was in a shared apartment with two friends. It was great: you always had someone to do stuff with and group activities were much easier to schedule.

Now that I'm older it would be nice to easily check who's up for something, spontaneously grill with everyone or simply sit together in the evening and talk.

My friends group still goes on vacation together from time to time and I love it. If your friends are only enjoyable in small doses... I don't know... that sounds sad.

Also with a house of your own, everyone would have enough space to retreat if necessary.

Besides from the bad gardening that was mentioned by the other posts, I would love to live like this.

This is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this.

(Ed, Edd & Eddy was sooo good)

Who is this “everyone”? Because this ain’t even remotely my dream.

1. House needs to be in the mountains
2. Fuck lawns
3. I don’t have this many friends (by choice)
4. If I did, I wouldn’t want to be in this close of proximity to them
5. This place probably has an HOA which is a big fat NOPE

Everyone's dream =

Friends 1 and 7 control the choke point and use it to starve the rest of the friends.

Well that's a shitty looking commune.

Where am I gonna get Vietnamese food in this shitty desolate suburb?

Me and the wife befriended the neighbours during lockdown. Hung out all the time, went on several holidays together.

Still pals, was round at one of theirs for dinner the other day.

Lived even closer than this for years. Didn’t get old. Miss it. But had to move on from the communal garden space for the kids.

Suburbian hell aside, noone prohibits you from befriending your neighbors.

The thing that would get old is managing all that damn grass. That and presumably having to drive 20 minutes to get anything.

Never personally had issues with living near or even with friends. Only ever had issues with was a rando roommate I had because a friend had to move for work.

Where does friend 3 park?

My frat house was like this but with one house. Didn't get old.

I'm fine with this considering my house is not in the picture.

Because it's 10 miles from public transit and Friend 3 has to bum rides from everyone?

Slop.

That aside, I choose friend 3. The only one without a driveway. Though if I did have a garage, I could establish my workshop there, hm...

Who is out here with that many friends??

Who has seven friends?!?

I literally cannot comprehend secured housing. Its like a dragon or unicorn. Sounds rad AF, but 10,000% unrealistic.

I've seen people rag on the suburbia of it all but no one has questioned the premise. If the suburban housing was the premise, then it shouldn't matter who the neighbors are and the length of time would be irrelevant: you just wouldn't want to live in the suburbs.

The premise is implying something about the idea of living by friends is masking the inherent problems with the situation. And that mask would fall off after some time had passed. But, if you don't like the suburbs as 90% of y'all felt compelled to make clear, why would that be suppressed and only resurface after time passes?

Why would living by friends turn into a nightmare scenario? If you can't stand being neighbors with them, then I'd argue you guys weren't really friends. Or you have novel ideas about how much you have to interact with neighbors.

if you can't be responsible and respectful with SIX neighbors then you don't deserve the privilege of owning property.

I'd be so into this if there was something we could all walk to at the end of the block. Like a main st or something

No one outside of high school has six friends.

No one makes friends with six random neighbors. And certainly they don't all consider each other friends.

There's a reason this is called a "dream".

My aunt and her family lived in a place like this. It was such a weird vibe. We never walked or rode our bikes anywhere, we just played in the yard.

Friend 3 over there without even a driveway, we know who the charity case is lol
