Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee headlights
For perspective, have a resident of Tokyo explain their philosophy.
I've know several quite wealthy and influential Japanese men who retired, sold the big mansion (didn't need it anymore) and moved to very modest houses. Their requirement was to have some sort of lawn/garden and high walls to isolate themselves from the neighbors just a matter of feet away. They all claimed that the isolation was required to keep that many people in that small a space civilized. Think I'll go contemplate my puny quarter acre a bit... I'm with on Spain, tho.
