Back home it was pretty common for a person to know their neighbors quite well. I believe something similar also happens in suburbia here in the USA.
So why is it that I've not really gotten to know any of my neighbors in the numerous apartments that I've lived in in Pittsburgh or NYC. One would think that apartment complexes would lead to constant interaction with your neighbors. More so than with people living in houses separated by fences, yards and gardens.
I don't even know how I would begin to interact with and make friends with the other people in my building. More specifically the 3 guys on the ground floor with the awesome back deck who I spotted on Tuesday night from my window chilling outside drinking mimosas. They seem like my kind of people.

The way i always get to know my neighbours is to throw a party and when the party is in full swing bang obnoxiously on their front door and demand that they join us..I have met quite a few of my friends that way.
Not for everyone though...
