It's true! I live in a building where a lot of us are friends or at least friendly. It makes a huge difference to my mental health and just living in NYC experience. During the pandemmy is was a true life saver. We shared groceries and used the elevator as a dumbwaiter sending each other stuff and during an awful time it was nice to both have community and not feel totally alone as a single person.

I wholeheartedly second this sentiment. Ever since I started communicating and connecting with the people who own a small farm store in my neighborhood and waving a daily hello to people who work at the farmers market, I’ve been feeling more secure and confident about my place in the community. I feel less scared and less exposed to danger as a woman.
