Good morning! Knowing one's neighbors, stopping to chat, smiling at the little ones walking to school and being an actual active part of one's community pays untold dividends.
If ppl know you, there is literally no downside.

I'm noticing (no offense) that *some* ppl apparently don't know how to be in community with one another; then, when strange/frustrating things occur they don't know how to address things w/o outside escalation (usually 911).
That sounds ridiculous, dangerous & ineffective to me.

Ask yourself: Do you greet your neighbors? The names of the bodega guy & the cat there too? How many kids live on your block? Which houses? What are some of their names? Who is the block gossip? Which families have been there for generations?
How do ppl not know the basics?!

My neighbor dropped some fresh veggies by the other day on some "Giving all my garden to local folks who've been hit hard w/ this Rona"
There are a few ppl/couples who have lived here longer than me. No one gave them veggies LMFAO; TBH that's a reflection of their behavior.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the ONLY minor crimes here&there I've heard of on our block happen to what the old folks call "the new ppl". Yet I'm not considered a "new person"....when I am....LOL.
That's a reflection of both my & their behavior, tbh IMO.

Pls bear with my spelling below lol I've only said these things & never had to write them.
If you can't even manage to learn a basic "wuh gwan"/Que Paso/Ca passe/Mah Salaama to your Jamaican/Dominican/Bodiqua/Haitian/Arab neighbors?
I suggest you stay wherever you're from.

If you refuse to great & acknowledge elders *at the VERY least*? I suggest you stay wherever that's the norm as many of us were raised to behave w/ more respect.
Folks around me don't acknowledge or respect those who seem to have been raised w/o any proper, basic home training.

Nor is it normal for us to *only* talk to our neighbors in depth when there's some sort of problem; as we care about one another & are in community. Duh.
ANYWHO I & puppers slept great last night; we both wish everyone a solid day! Pls feel free to DM any of your firework tips..
