The Old Fashioned Way
Even while residents in suburban communities often make an attempt to get to know one another, the level of interaction between neighbors is not as strong as it once was. When someone came into a community in the past, the newcomers were shown a higher level of respect than they are now.
The locals would come over to say hello, and they may even bring a home-cooked dinner with them, so the newcomers wouldn’t have to worry about preparing any meals. That has changed throughout the years as individuals have gotten increasingly distanced from one another. People also have a tendency to be more suspicious of their neighbors than ever before.
