Poncho craziness & looking for town making - precedents

precedents in Mexico in San Luis Potosi (only because I have been there - north Mex, suburb)
- shading
- set back
- boundary walls

shading precedent - canopies, overhangs, commercial steps back

walls someties with windows :) surrounding private land - behind: all, even gardens

streets on North - South, East - West grid

NS street looking N - early morning

(one side of the street shaded , apart from dead on noon) 

EW streets - south side walk shaded (early morning & late ev North side walk!!!)

growth precedent - (villages around my home town - czech rep, I believe its like this elsewhere, because it is logical)
villages grow with houses facing main street, secondary streets paralled to main street.
v.
developers sites have secondary streets perpendicular to the main road. 
 (in general)

in red marked up main road , secondary roads are very often an offset

versus: 

MAJOR breakthrough > blocks in texas like haringay ladder rather than grown villages - property developers style. i.e. "Haringey ladder"
