People should generally try to get to know their neighbors, of course. But that shouldn't be a precursor to getting to live somewhere. People need a place to live. The same comments you make about "transplants" not acknowledging their neighbors is the same one that white suburbanites make when minorities, immigrants or low-income people move into their neighborhoods. It's bullshit.
