Ridgewood NJ, in an era of white picket fences and manicured lawns, it’s safe to say that many Americans were known for the good relations they had with their neighbors. When they’re just across the yard, and you see them every day, it’s hard to not at least be civil. But maybe life was slower-paced back then, and people had the time to invest in good neighborly relations… because now, as life is busier and faster-paced, it’s getting harder and harder to be a good neighbor, or even take the time to get to know yours. Many Americans, therefore, are not particularly close with their neighbors.
