What makes a good neighbor?
Neighbors that respect the differences between you and them are ideal.
Tolerance and respect for human difference is probably the most important element to ensuring success, however it can also be valuable to be kind and helpful.
Communities as spontaneous order require the ability to take risks and learn about other people. So, openness and friendliness is also important.
Loose lips and gossip by contrast are ingredients to create a bad relationship, because the indirectness can result in unknowing sabotage. When people aren’t on the same page, they can hurt each other. Gossip pushes this dynamic further.
