This weird hamlet, where everyone lives on the same street, is going viral because of one remarkable aspect. Sit down before you discover the cause…
Living in a hamlet or small town adds a quaint, lovely quality to life.
I’m talking about a place where everyone knows practically everyone else. First-name greetings are common, there’s a local drinking hole where people may congregate, and there are probably a few more structures, such as a post office, a funeral home, and some form of store.
My argument is that it might be good to share the sense of a close-knit community with others. It’s not for everyone, of course, but as humans, there appear to be quite a few of us who prefer to live in a flock rather than out in the woods alone.
That being said, I’m curious how many individuals can honestly declare they want to live in a community where everyone lives on the same street!
That is the situation for the residents of a European town that went popular on Twitter earlier this month after an aerial shot was published to the platform.
Sułoszowa, a community in southern Poland, with 6,000 inhabitants who all live on a single nine-kilometer roadway.
The settlement, known as “Little Tuscany” owing to its layout, had a population of 5,819 in 2017, according to CSO Poland.
It is believed that each house on the street comes with a lengthy strip of land, which the residents utilize for a variety of purposes such as farming and animal housing.
Residents of Sułoszowa replied to the unusual yet stunning aerial images by sharing their experiences living there.
“I would never exchange this location for anything else. It exudes its charm and mood. “There’s something about it,” one person commented.
“The whole location appears the same: a home followed by a strip of field, which is why the images are so beautiful. One has grain, another has rapeseed, and the third has something else. The hues are magnificent from above.”
A second photograph was purportedly shared on Reddit, along with a question about whether the strips of land that extend from the town belong to each house on the street.
Someone replied, “I just showed this to my Polish friend, and he said yes!”
They continued by stating, “Each home receives a strip of land that can be used for any purpose, which explains the diverse hues, and residents utilize the land for various reasons.” Some people produce crops on it, while others raise animals or simply leave it alone.
“I said I didn’t believe him, but he says it’s true.”
What a weird arrangement. I don’t recall ever seeing a town like this before.
