And still have lots of antennas and even run power? How many antennas and how many watts?
Pics of what your house looks like from the front at least from roof up to show antennas?http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

I live in a tract neighborhood, but my buddy Ernie lives down by the tracks. He doesn't have a ham license but if he did I don't think that his neighbors would mind even if he put up an 80M Rhombic.

I have seen some track style neighborhoods. The streets come off of a major street then curve around in an oval thus coming close to the configuration of a race track.
In fact, a few weeks ago a bicycle club was riding "en masse" and came to such a street. One fellow decided to ride around the "track" clockwise while the remainder rode around counterclockwise. Unfortunately, the single rider ran headlong into one of the "pack" and was killed. The other rider was severely injured. Nothing has been said about the speed of the bicycles, but in those situations the riders often go "all out" and reach speeds of 50 mph or greater.
As such, I really don't care for track style neighborhoods. Now as for a tract neighborhood there are neighborhoods like that in virtually every city and suburb in the country.

Kinda adds a whole new dimension to the term, "Tract Lighting," huh?
Remember, chilluns, Close Enough Is NOT Good Enough
