Our neighborhood in California was similar, I didn’t even know my neighbor’s names for a long time. I’m surprised here I know anybody, I never walk up and down the street because our driveway is too Steep and long. I never wanted to walk up and down it.
I don’t socialize with my neighbors a lot, but a few I do a bit, and I’m friendly with all of them. My best friend/ neighbor is a pit bull. Against all odds.
