This is what some neighborhoods in Dunedin look like. It's pretty typical Florida architecture in some places. Sadly, newer homes often lack the deep shady porches that are so helpful in cooling the home and providing a sense of community. Others give them a truncated sort of porch that really only amounts to lip service.
I have many, many wonderful memories of porches in the houses I grew up in, as well as the houses of my grandparents. The next home I buy will HAVE to have a front porch... or a place to add one on! What about you, are you a porch person?

I love porches, trees, sidewalks, and the sense of community that you WILL NOT find in these newer subdivisions being built. It's sad that alot of that feeling will be lost.
