Exactly. I don’t live on a long street but I know about half of the people on my street. I intentionally make the effort. I don’t need to be best friends with anyone but we face all the same local problems so why wouldn’t I want them to have my back, care enough to keep an eye on things as I do for them.
It takes effort to be outside and say hi and make a little small talk and learn their names, pets and kids.
Worth it in every neighborhood I’ve lived in.

I’ve been struggling to find a movie thread replacement. Seems like all the movie communities are dead. Any recommendations?
