Why do porches need to have steps? Why not a railed patio sort of area in front of each home leading to common pathways? Or a ramped approach? Presuming porch=steps strikes me as a unnecessary assumption. But likely closer to the common definition of porch than what I was thinking. Hmm. My family had a concrete slab with rails we called our porch growing up, so that likely goes into the difference. Jenn Cartee
