Neighborliness

[jpinpb]

I was giving this some thought. Do you think some of this tendency to keep to oneself is b/c people are more self-conscious and don’t want to be misjudged or talked about or gossipped about or ridiculed or mocked?

I have to say I don’t necessarily agree with all the generalizations about California or San Diego. I am 41, I’ve probably spent a year or more in 15 different neighborhoods in my adult life. This December in Encinitas, at my neighborhood in Quail Gardens, I got Christmas carol’ed by children for the first time in my life. Neighbors here watch out for each other, bring lost dogs home, say Hi all the time, and have neighborhood parties and other events all the time. Its just the best neighborhood I’ve ever lived in, and I’ve lived in a lot.

So there are pockets where that friendly vibe still lives. Maybe less and less frequently, but they do still exist, right here in San Diego.

kicksavedave my neighborhood is pretty friendly, we have a big rib cook-off every summer and a soup contest each winter on our street. I am in fact a judge on the rib cook-off. So we are well accepted here, I was speaking more along the deep friendships. It’s not uncommon to walk around with a beer in your hand on Friday’s visiting the others hanging around outside.

So my actual neighborhood is quite friendly, so to a degree I’ll disagree with the original poster, but I am also saying the lasting type friendships do not seem as easy to come by.

So I suppose I thread-jacked….

I live in the gated community of Escala in Mission Valley and have had the same experiences there. Plus, someone keeps ramming the gate…it’s gone for repair about once a month!
