[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My. I'm glad I live in a leafy quiet neighborhood where everyone barely knows their neighbors beyond a pleasant nod when walking the dogs.

I think it's a non-verbal agreement in such areas that people stay pleasant and neighborly but not really try to get close and form friendships.   I used to live in a very dense urban family area (apartments) where people knew each other and there was a strong sense of community.  There were factions formed by moms/dads based on schools kids attended or social activities, sports, etc, but not much animosity.  Some factions silently despised other factions, but nobody made anyone miserable purposely and all kids could play together in public places.  There were people I didn't like and people who didn't like me, and we ran into each other (density does it to you), but because there was so much "other fish in the sea" it was a non issue.

I guess OP is living in the middle of these two extremes.  I didn't have to watch my back much in a very dense neighborhood or in a low density one where neighbors don't socialize. [/quote]
