One of the reasons I love living where I do, is because while I don't know any of the neighbours who live directly adjacent to me in their $2m houses, it's a relatively dense and active neighbourhood because of all the people forced to rent rooms from them, and we all walk to get our groceries or to the bars down the street, or meet at the gym, or see each other in the park. There's not a chance I'd move to some cul-de-sac, and it's frustrating that the possibility of securing a longer-term stay here isn't really possible any more.
Aside from that though, in my first 12 years as an adult, I've learned that if you see someone you know when you're out and about, wave to them, always, unless they're really occupied by something else; they might be gone/dead tomorrow, and nobody hates being acknowledged in a friendly way.
