I know "shared community" sounds great to some, but to me it would be a living hell. I hate nosy neighbors. I tried with one neighbor, he and his family seemed nice enough, and he was new and getting to know people. After a few months I had a semi-retired cousin who likes to travel a lot stay with me for a month or so as my guest. After a couple weeks my neighbor waves me over, I figure it was just to say hi, and starts asking nosy questions about who that "man" staying at my house is, and I refuse to answer him because, well, it's nosy and none of his business. I was nice at first about my refusal because he didn't give me any reason why he was asking, but then he got angry. So I just walked away and haven't talked to him since. The best neighbor is a fence.
