    "People are outdoors walking and riding bikes. Many walking dogs. Everyone is friendly—they wave walking by or driving by. Sometimes we have neighborhood potlucks, such as on 4th of July. It’s common to have a friend or neighbor stop by to talk or have a glass of wine. It’s just very friendly and homey"
