I've actually come to like the look of front fencing, which on the whole is a thoroughly non-North American thing. With exceptions as noted, of course. It's actually odd that Canada has as little as it does, considering that in other major British colonies it was the norm. It's the norm in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa - even when security isn't a concern.
At least privacy fencing in the backyard is common here... suburbs that lack backyard fencing or only have a small chain link one are disconcerting to me.

Happened to me while staying at an airbnb! I forget the exact circumstances but there was something about the gate that wasn't immediately obvious, but luckily the owner was able to solve it via texting pretty quickly.
