Midwest: starting to wish my neighbors would leave me alone, what with all the casseroles on my doorstep and invitations to euchre night.
Seattle: I couldn't even tell you the race of some of my neighbors, as I never see them outside. I know they exist only because I see the car pull into the garage right before the garage door closes. Of the neighbors with whom I'm friendly, or at least talk to once in a while, the majority aren't from U. S. See also: "Seattle freeze".
Well, I'm in Northern New England, so I get it. Around here nobody's going to talk to you unless you make the effort. People just default to leaving each other alone. But they're mostly nice folks if you reach out.
