> why is it considered so inherently important to spend time with your neighbors?

It's propaganda disseminated by unhappy single women. :) I said it that way because not all single women are unhappy -- some prefer being alone, just as some men do. Recent statistics tell us that almost 1/2 of Americans are single, and they're about to become an absolute majority.

No, the question is, "What does an article encouraging contact with neighbors have to do with single women?"
