You move into a subdivision in the Suburbs. Do your new neighbors welcome you.. or not? How do they treat you as new to the neighborhood?
In the suburbs people dont seem to know each other. They might smile and say hi to each other, but everyone is too busy living in their own personal hell to notice anyone besides themselves, unless they live in a more urban/planned suburb.

LOL, i grew up in a Suburb and knew everyone on my street and most people in my immediate area.

Of course there are a few exceptions.
Doesnt change the fact that most suburbanites tend to be miserable and isolated. Stuck in a boring generic house, with increasing debt, and worse job prospects. They spend their life sitting in traffic to get to work and their free time is spent on buying material positions that TV tells them they need. Their situation gets worse and worse, and most watch hopelessly.
It is a good thing suburbs are now reversing, or making changes to make them more urban.
I knew my neighbors both in urban and suburban areas. However, it was more likely to find someone of a similar lifestyle in the suburbs. The urban areas had more "you did what and what?!" sort of interaction.
Then again, the suburbs I live in are all old and full of older people...
I've lived in three different subdivisions in three different inland California cities/towns. My neighbors and I would make polite introductions within the first week and that was almost the last time I spoke with them. As long as they aren't obnoxious or stupid with their personal habits and dogs I don't care if I chit-chat with them.
The last time I lived in one, everyone was so friendly and baked stuff and brought it over...
after that we were a tight, close community where everyone watched out for each other, and the
children.
CCL-
That is good what state did you reside in? It seems the majority of reponse on this thread are adverse and reflect the anti-social /anti-community /negative "super independence" culture of America today.
