Ah nice, you've invented southern Europe!

Seriously though, great concept and keep it going :)

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.

That is a dream of mine that I have yet to make happen.

Don't let your dreams be dreams! Go knock on their door and ask them if they want a coffee.

In my situation they would probably not respond, and then submit a complaint through the HOA

What have we done to the human experience. smh

Maybe your neighbor is scared of the same thing happening if they knock on your door... so neither makes the first move :(

I know. I do more and more initiate conversation but knocking on a door of someone I don’t know yet even a bit is a bit scary honestly.

I am Indian. Not sure if this is because there are too many of us but except for part of cities these days, social connections like these are normal.

I have at least a dozen neighbours, I can walk in (uninvited), have tea and gossip. And not all of them are necessarily my friends. Some are.

Pretty much everyone I know has their little neighbourhood circle like this.

Yeah I'm like, you know who's good at hanging out on the stoop, poor people (Southern US). It's a little funny that's all.
