Summary
"Good Fences Make Good Neighbors" - but a "good fence" isn't necessarily a tall one. Why are white picket fences disappearing across America? Michael explores a surprising cultural shift with Washington Post reporter Danielle Paquette. As privacy fences replace open yards, what are we gaining—and what might we be losing when it comes to community, trust, and neighborly connection? Original air date 2 June 2026.
