Cis: Relationships in the ‘Hood

What kind of a relationship do you have with your neighbor? Best friends? Occasional coffee break? Over for dinner? Talks across the fence each time you both are outside? A wave or nod as you are doing yard work? Or taking the garbage
to the curb? Have you ever been in your neighbors
house? While they owned it? Do you know who to call for them if they have health problems? If they are single. Do you house sit for them? Do you loan them tools and etc?/From A Simple Mind. More here.

DFO: Occasional chats over fence or when taking garbage to curb. I've been in one neighbor's house. My neighbors are good people. But we keep to ourselves. Mostly.

Question: What's your relationship with your neighbors?
