Parking etc doesn't bother me, nor does walking it's the anonymity issue for me. I visited a girl in a provincial town before and the street was really quiet baring a garage that was across the road. It's very likely the men working there knew exactly what was happening across the road and I didn't like that. As I drove past on my way home I noticed a guy cycling past, who I had seen cycling past in the same direction on my way in and then stopping across the road before staring at the apartment. Most uncomfortable and I felt as if a Guard was going to pull me in until I was about ten mins down the road.
