Also, the phrase good fences make good neighbors actually has the exact opposite meaning of what you think it does. But its not surprising that a Ben Shapiro fan wouldnt understand Robert Frost.

"It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls."

- Aristophanes

"Love thy neighbor, yet don't pull down your hedge."

- Benjamin Franklin

The proverb refers to a more modern psychological understanding of human relationships -- boundaries. When boundaries are clear, relationships can better prosper. If you know where you stand, where your property begins and ends, and are free to do on your side as your neighbor is on his or hers, it makes for better relationships between people. Nothing can be more contentious between neighbors than a property boundary dispute, good or strong fences remove the possibility of that contention.
