some people have claustrophobia so much that they don't like even overhanging or encroaching vegetation

my street also has no sidewalks and is quite narrow with about 5 cars per day on it. it dead ends (quasi dead end -- you can make it down the hill in a high clearance vehicle but not in any sports car; sedans ... sometimes) onto a natural area open to pedestrians only -- not a park exactly but no cars
