Without the ability to interact with one another, we also lose the ability to care for one another. Seeing your neighbor on a run at the park or the neighborhood convenience store; bumping into friends at the local coffee shop; the casual conversations that happen while waiting for the bus, the library, or even the neighborhood bar. These moments of interaction, though seemingly small, are key to our wellbeing, or lack of it.
Suburbs are the real ghetto… Literally a failed social engineering project rooted in clown as racism.
Funny thing other countries have them too but they are not this bad? Why does US always has to botched execution of everything some some profit for an old clown.

Who has time to visit a park? There are no more neighborhood stores of any kind. No one can afford a coffee shop. And who wants to talk to random strangers at the bus stop? That’s just creepy.

Me.

Depends on the neighborhood.
No one can afford a coffee shop.
Seriously? Then how are there so many in business?
And who wants to talk to random strangers at the bus stop?
I’m game. I do it in airports, we have fun.
Coffee is only a few bucks at a coffee shop, a few cents at home, and free at work. Now, getting some daily overcomplicated concoction, on the other hand…
