Renters in US: how many of your neighbors do you know and socialize with? (not counting people you know from elsewhere, like work or school)

@GabrielDuquette both standards and levels of stuff-in-common Iocally have changed - we can't just watch local sports with neighbors now

@sarahdoingthing @GabrielDuquette wait, so — how *do* you want ppl to commune Sarah? gardens may need walls, but if the soil is barren... :(

@KevinSimler @GabrielDuquette I am the first to admit that community is hard, my suspicion is missing rituals but lots of stuff

@sarahdoingthing @GabrielDuquette rituals, totally. (remind me to tell you about my old community sometime. So. Many. Rituals.)

@KevinSimler @sarahdoingthing @GabrielDuquette Would like to hear about this. Very interesting discussion; wish I had something to contribut

@Meaningness my old community = software startup, pretty cliched. but the rituals were sublime. tons of creative energy devoted to them.

@Meaningness there were ~5 of us who took "ritual care of the community" as one of our core concerns.
