Am I a good neighbor? Yes, I think so.
I say hi to people from the building when I see them. I make sure their package deliveries are inside, where they won't be stolen. I do what I can.
I also believe it is important to take care of your surroundings and take pride in the place you live. In the winter, I'm the only person in my building who clears snow from the walk and the front steps. But I don't mind. It's not that hard. And in the summer, I sweep the steps, or vaccuum the front landing. I sweep the back walkway and pick up the trash. It's not a big deal, it only takes a few minutes to do it.
I'm a little disappointed that no one else takes any pride in where they live, and I'm disheartened that if I were to stop, no one else would do it. When I'm out of town for a week or two, I come back to find the building looking a mess. And one day, I'll move and it will stay a mess.
