Every house surrounded by concrete and metal. Barbed wire topping the walls which house the half indoor patio to the front of the living quarters. Many check the little door slot to see who's there before opening the gate. Private security guards are all over.
And yet the people here are surprisingly open and publicly communal. People actually converse all over the streets. The parks actually get played in. Lawrence, KS. does have its South Park, where younger parents with small children can be found every day. But other than Central Park in NY, the eyes have never seen such a per capita use of public park space.
Plus people run mercados (little convenient stores), restaurants, hotels and sell tortillas or fried plantains out of their homes.
