Just about everything in this essay is fascinating and illuminating. I've always thought of narrow streets as "quaint," and now I see how, well, narrow, that description really is. I've learned a lot this evening!

Loved the title of this post, Matt, as in squeeze me tight spaces encourage ordinary social interactions, and shared experiences which in turn uphold us.

We just bought a condo in Church Hill, the oldest neighborhood in Richmond, Virginia (my family home). Love the "quaint," narrow streets!
