Ehh, no. Family usually has an interest in your well-being when they're in your business. Neighbors and acquaintances, not so much. A lot of gossiping, not a lot of help when help was needed. For example, last summer when my mom & uncle were both having health issues on top of money issues and could neither cut the grass themselves, fix the riding mower, nor pay someone to do it, you didn't see concerned friends come out and cut it for them. You saw the borough council send them threatening letters about a fine if they didn't get it done.

Maybe it's just a spectacularly crappy town? I dunno. There are certain people on a power trip trying to push some gentrification, I think.
