I'm living in Manhattan and I don't meet anyone new on the street. What friends I do have, I never see, everyone always seems busy and uninterested in just "hanging out," which is what we did back in my slower hometown (something has to be planned here, and it better be good). It's actually ironic that I've never been closer (in physical proximity) to my friends (everyone is within a few miles of me) yet I see them much less than when I lived in a very sprawled out area (everyone > 10 miles away).
