Yeah and that is mostly because in urban areas nobody knows anybody. In rural areas everybody knows everybody and we look out for each other.
Good example of that: park an unknown vehicle in my drive way and get out and start wandering around the yard. Won't be long before my neighbor comes over and asks who you are.
That's not really true; at least not in my experience, and it certainly wasn't true in NO. People were very concerned about neighbors. I would agree that neighbors in rural areas probably do know each other more/better, though. Also depends on type of neighborhood: a city block where the same families have lived for 30 years will have a different flavor than a block of apartments by a college where everyone is there for a couple years and then gone.
