"In its first moments, the urban residential ring struck many prospective
purchasers as positively borderland-like."
"Once developers erected rows of houses, the first families arrived
in the residential rings were subjected to restricted views, much street
traffic,
and a dozen other decidely urban unpleasantries."
"William Dean Howells and others remarked not only the crowded
horsecars and, later, electric cars serving the residential ring,
but the difficulties confronted by women riders in particular."
