I know! It is really amazing. I am aquainted with a lot of my neighbors, partly because I walk my dog every day, and partly because I do wave and smile at them. Then we talk or the consider me approachable and let me know if there is some kind of problem. When I lived in a rural area where the nearest neighbor was 1/4 mile away I knew everyone on my street and most on the next few streets down the mountain. We would have huge barbques and people would come from all over. Now, in an apartment, where everyone is on top of each other no one knows anyone.
