The part about the front porch is at the top in the New Urbanist hand book, Reconizing the front porch is the social room and connects peoiple to each other and the street. When done well they pull from the isolated back yard oasis, When combined with other urbanist principles the porch is located close to the side walk and the side walk has very few curb cuts because most cars park in the rear. There is nothing new about New Urbanism, its more like Old Urbanism unforgotton. Interesting how a porch can provide beautiful memories and how we long for it without really understanding what we lost. Nice Story
