Whether home is a house, apartment, or community residence, we all have neighbors. Sadly, though, neighborliness in America is not what it used to be. When a murder-suicide occurred on his suburban street, author Peter Lovenheim wondered why we are so often isolated from our neighbors and what we lose by living as strangers to each other. To try to get to know his own neighbors better, he arranged to sleep over at their houses. In this program, based on his award-winning book In the Neighborhood, Lovenheim explores the decline in neighborliness and offers strategies for building healthier neighborhoods.
