The neighborhood is indicative of the people or residents that resides in it. After all if no people lives in it, it would just be empty houses or shells. So the lifeblood of the neighborhood are the people. Questions for you.
Do you know the person that lives next door or across the street?
How many street names are you able to list, if someone asked you?
How often do you talk/visit other people on other streets?
Would you recognize your neighbor in the supermarket?
