And comunity dynamic? What?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Here often people in the surrounding, neighbourghood, even district talk together, know each other and even organise or do things together.
For example, in the town where I lived during my teenage, that dynamic was very strong: when one moves or needs something there is always a neighbour to help; people most always know, talk and exchange with quite all the people living around & near them; even sometimes people from a whole street were organising "garage sales day" during wich every family was participating, some making food for everyone's meal (or each family makes a part of it) while others were taking care of the stands; they were sometimes puting themselves all together to buy fireworks and make an amateur firework show... And there were also activities like that at the whole town scale during local festivals, with very high participation rates.
Where I live right now it is a bit less evident than in the towns I grew up in, but it is present too; we know and talk to quit everyone in the surrounding streets, when one does big work such as cutting a sick tree himself a lot of people help for the whole process, from cutting to cleaning; someone gets his car stuck in the snow, people go and help with their grips, shovels and muscles; we go at each other's places to make our dogs play toghether...
It is not that friendly everywhere, I know, but in several places it is a bit like that. It seems to be, at least here, that the more populous a place is, often the less the "neighbours" are friendly and close from each other (in the figurative way)...
