Vogue,
I am fully aware that the law is the same everywhere in the United States. By referencing that I live in Monsey I was expressing that there are places that people have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to have privacy and that having people walk through your backyard (whether to go to school or on Shabbos which disturbs any kind of restfulness or the ability to have family time and space that was duly paid for and continues to be paid for with exhorbitant taxes) it is a very big deal. There are plenty of places that having people walk through isn’t – but where I live – Monsey – it is a big deal.
