Indeed. When I look back at use without some kind of permission/invitation, it's been (my categories): OK and OKish: someone collecting petition/ballot signatures (semi-ok, depending, but clearly socially acceptable) neighbor bringing food as welcome-to-neighborhood visit neighbor bringing misdelivered package adjacent landowner coming to discuss something reasonable neighbor coming to say hello and talk about what happened in hurricane of 1938 since he ran home across the then-undeveloped land as the storm started. people trying to visit the next-door neighbor and going up the wrong driveway not OK: proselytizers (not unlawful, sort of semi-ok socially -- really the edge of normal) people trying to sell things and importantly doesn't include things like: people who are walking for exercise and decide to walk up to houses and back just for fun people teaching their kids to drive
