Most times neighbors only talk to each other when it comes time to pay for a new fence.
That’s our neighborhood. We’ve had the same neighbors for 21 years on either side. We wave at each other as we go in and out of our garage. We know each other from living by each other so long but we’re not buddys.
I think the garage has a lot to do with it. I grew up in houses with no garages and everyone knew everyone.
