''The siting of Hector’s tent offers a sheltered, enclosed area, with good sightlines, and two protected entrances. A chain-link fence to the rear of the tent defines a safe boundary; defense is only necessary from the other direction. Good neighbours are a key factor in siting an essential dwelling. Agreements can be struck with neighbouring businesses to provide protection during off hours in exchange for dwelling in an unseen interstitial space on the property.''
