At the risk of going off-topic, I'm a little taken aback by how we're all still in the middle of a global pandemic. Vaccines don't provide bulletproof immunity and aren't intended to be a license to gather in groups, etc., without precautions.

From that description, your neighbors don't sound particularly appealing. What's there to be envious of re: that?

You can cast your disapproval at what those neighbors are doing, and it might even be perfectly valid (I'd agree with you). It does absolutely nothing to quell that envy that OP is feeling, though - I know the feeling well, and I know many of my friends feel the same way.

This is a long tail of the whole pandemic that doesn't really get discussed.
