Life has a charming, endearing quality when you live in a hamlet or small town.
I’m talking about the area where almost everyone knows each other. There is a neighborhood bar where people gather, and there may be a few more buildings, like a post office, a funeral home, and some retail establishments. First-name greetings are accepted as the norm.
The point I’m trying to make is that sometimes it’s nice to give other people a sense of a tight-knit group. Many of us would rather live in a flock than be alone in the wilderness, so it’s not for everyone.
I’m curious to know how many people can say they’d prefer to live in a neighborhood where every house is on the same street.
That is unquestionably the case for the European community’s residents, who earlier this month gained notoriety on Twitter after an aerial photograph was posted online.
Surprisingly, all 6,000 residents of the town of Suoszowa in southern Poland live on a single, nine-kilometer-long street.
CSO Poland reports that as of 2017, there were 5,819 people living in the neighborhood, which is known as “Little Tuscany” due to its architecture.
Each home on the street is thought to come with a sizable plot of land, which the residents use for a variety of things, including farming and housing for animals.
Locals from Suoszowa responded to questions about the bizarre but undeniably stunning aerial photographs by outlining daily life in their town.
“This place is the only one I would never trade. It has a distinct atmosphere and charm. As they say, there’s something to it,” one person said.
Since the entire scene appears to be a home, followed by a brief field section, the photographs are stunning. In one, there is grain; in the other, rapeseed; and in the third, something else. Beautiful colors when seen from above.
The question of whether each house on the street owns the strips of land extending from the village was posted alongside a second image on Reddit, according to reports.
The response was, “My Polish friend just saw this and he said yes!”.
The homeowners continued, “Each house has that strip of land to do whatever on, hence the different colors, and they are using the land for various purposes. Some people leave it fallow, while others keep animals there.
What a startlingly peculiar setup. I think I’ve never seen a village like this one.
