Love this. Neighbors are key. I also love the idea that as humans we really need connection, we thrive off of it. I'm particularly interested in (studying) why friendship in motherhood is so important, and i think your article on neighborly support gets at the heart of what I'm seeing in my research, too--we truly need each other. As you write so beautifully: "some of my deepest, most fulfilling are friendships I’ve established out of the convenience and accessibility of their presence."

Meeting all of our neighbors when we got our dog was one of the most significant positive changes of my entire time living in New York!
