[quote=Anonymous]My impression is that the burbs where people have to drive a lot are more like this than in DC proper, where I live, but I'm sure it varies quite a bit neighborhood to neighborhood. I'll say that whenever a parent in the neighborhood or a room parent proposes something like "hey we'll be at the playground from 10-12 on Saturday, hope to see you there!" a lot of people show up. There's is a craving for the kind of community you seek, it just needs someone organized enough to propose it. It was actually better during covid when the kids roamed the neighborhood. Now they are back to being overly scheduled. My oldest in 8th grade can now take buses or metro to visit friends, which is nice. Finding people can happen at schools, shared activities, Scouts is a big one to religious organizations, but for impromptu hangouts, neighbors within walking distance are gold.[/quote]
