I've lived in 3 different apartment complexes in the past 10 years, and can't say I knew any of my neighbors in more than a casual nod in passing. In college, my complex was mostly populated by gangstas and latinos who didn't speak English, so that precluded me getting to know them. When I moved to DC, I lived in PG County, close to the District line, so I generally just got stared at for being the only young white person in the neighborhood (there were some retirement age white folks who'd lived there from before the area went downhill).
Where I currently live, I've just never made the effort to meet anyone. The folks in my building seem nice enough, but in 2 years, all the apartments have turned over except for the guy next to me. The Todd, as I call him, enjoys toking it up, playing loud music, and having his friends over to play video games or watch sports. By mistake, yesterday I got his summons from District Court for failure to pay rent, so he might be evicted soon.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
