Heck, we don't avoid our neighbors. We don't even know them. Some move in, live for years two houses down, move away, and we never spoke to them. There are no cultural centers, to town squares, no commons where people gather. Who are all these people? Beats me. Of my whole neighborhood, I know two names.

Good point Sean. And it got even worse during and after covid and is being pushed on us. You convinced me as I am looking for a new place, to look for one within an actual community structure. Buyers and renters can vote with their wallets.
There are actually a lot of small towns in Florida that should fit the bill. Also, a place called The Villages intentionally designed for community but over 55, retirement community. Idaho, no doubt beautiful and idyllic, is likely too cold for this former Northerner now spoiled by the southern sun :)

Good luck and good hunting. Small town Idaho, up in the mountains along winding narrow roads, that might be a good place to start.
