In reply to the discussion: Anyone have people living in "compounds", around them? [View all]Warpy
(110,900 posts)33. No, I live in a very poor part of town
and my area is all hardscrabble Democratic.
The "compounds" I've known are the big properties with several summer homes on them owned by wealthy families. The Kennedys weren't the only family on Cape Cod with one.
I'm sure there are places in the more rural parts of this state that might fit your description. It's hard to say, though, this is a pretty poor state and that kind of fencing is really expensive.
