It’s generational. The younger generations have no concept of neighborhoods or neighborliness. They grew up on computers talking to people all over the world who are their “friends”. They have no interest in the person living next door to them and actually feel like having to interact with them is an intrusion into their privacy.
My old neighborhood is not necessarily unfriendly; it’s just that the the married couples we used to visit with have died off, my wife is gone,etc. I have basically one neighbor left of my age group that I visit regularly with.
