Do you agree with the statement "no fence, no dog"?

[e~tandiet~e]

I read a response on here that said if you don't have a fenced in yard, you absolutely should not get a dog. How do you feel on the topic?
I'll add my opinion later on as I've found stating it right away affects answers..just give your honest opinions, I'm not going to give best answer just because someone agrees with me.

I think a fenced in yard is the best, but not necessary. Some people have laws where they live that no fences are allowed. Some people choose to put up a chain link kennel for the dog to potty in and get fresh air, Other people take their dog out on a leash to go potty and walk them regularly or go to a dog park. So, I believe it IS best, but not necessary. (Underground fencing is another alternative, but I really don't like the idea)
