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
Maybe your neighbor is scared of the same thing happening if they knock on your door... so neither makes the first move :(
What have we done to the human experience. smh
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.
