[epicureanideal]

Do most people these days? I don’t think I’ve ever even seen my neighbors.

[krageon]

This reads as so outlandish it's close to satire. How can you not see your neighbours? Do you live in the middle of a huge field with nothing in it?

I know my neighbors exist -- I share a wall with them. There's thirty families on my block and I don't know the names of a single one. I think I've said "hi" to one once, when we happened to be on our balconies at the same time. But what ocassion would I have to talk to them?
