Almost all people have a surprising amount in common. The human experience is pretty predictable.
It's just that we perceive that our neighbors are different from us.
One of the best ways around that is to put yourself in a situation where you actually bump into your neighbors. Basically that just means being out in public at "third places".
- taurath 7y agoI do agree, but there’s a giant shade of mistrust to get over. There does need to be more third places - suburbs are specifically lacking in those. The cultural identity most of the time is “independent” rather than “community focused”.
