Neighbours then and now

Looking back at how neighbours used to be then I see a paradigm shift in behaviour of today's neighbours.
In the good old days there was never a day when there was no interaction between neighbours. Visiting each other was more a rule than an exception Everyone rallied around if there was an event in anyone's house lending a hand.
And in contrast my neighbours today are totally private. There are months that we ever say Hi to each other leave alone knowing what's going on in their household.
I wish the old times came back.
What's your experience?

I don't see my neighbors regular but we all know we can call each other for help.

I live in an apartment complex, where you can’t help but know your neighbors. I’m lucky right now that the three other people on my floor are quiet. I trust one of them enough that he gets my packages for me when I’m out of town, and vice versa. I’m friendly with several others, but you don’t want to get too friendly with a lot of people here. They aren’t all safe.

That is how it should be. Friendly but not too friendly.

If I'm one of your neighbors, I'll always be that private one even back in the good old days. If you didn't move houses though, I guess it's because the neighbors got older, have passed on, or maybe because of modern technology.

To each their own as they say but neighbours should be neighbours which means they should once in a way atleast interact with each other

This is a small rural town and everyone is friendly and talk to you when you are outside.
