#2> my husband Tyler and I wanted that sense of community that feels like it’s only possible in the suburbs, but we believed we could achieve this while living in San Francisco.
This genuinely threw me because in my experience the suburbs are the antithesis of this, just lots of people occupying neighboring space and rarely talking to each other.
Still, a heartwarming story all the same. And yes, this is _exactly_ what city living should enable.

This is a bitter stereotype that is leveled against both city-dwellers and suburb-dwellers, and, like many stereotypes, has some truth to it in both cases, but amounts to uncalled-for negativity. Some people don't want to interact with their neighbors, regardless of whether they live in a city or a suburb. Others are sociable with their community, and express it just as well whether they live in a city or a suburb.

Why's that? Never used the app. Is it just a lot of negativity and you get negative vibes from them?

Social media tends to bring out the worst in people.

Was just about to write.
My 69-year old neighbour just knocks on my door at random interval and asks if I want a coffee.
* I had an 80 year old neighbour as well, but she got sick and moved in with her daughter.
