I read National Geographic laid off the last of their staff writers, that's sad.

To call them "villas" may be a bit of a stretch.
How about Paris?

My hat is off to you. I just couldn't find those pics for some reason.

Sułoszowa, Poland is pretty remarkable. The google maps satellite view shows relatively light traffic on that street during broad daylight. I was expecting bumper to bumper traffic and no way to ever get out of your driveway.
