I noticed this behavior as well here in vancouver. It's like an unwritten rule that you need to not interact with your apartment neighbors.
I always suspected being house poor has to do something with it. One time I overheard a neighbor who was complaining on the phone about how debt ridden she was. I guess when you are barely scraping you don't have any emotional space to acknowledge people.
I suspect it's worse for senior citizens as well...
- nugi 9y agoI found it is a middle class thing. Most poor areas i lived in, neighbors banded together. Similar with the affluent crowd. The middle are usually more busy and stressed and take their stress out on those around them. Family, coworkers, neighbors. Its just my experince, but there it is.
