history: I have a new neighbor who is very friendly. My kids sometimes go over to her house to play. My kids will sometimes go and play at my new neighbors house.  That must be fun for them.  Our neighbor hood only has older people so my kids stay around the house.
current: I think I liked it better when my neighborhood had more older people.
next: See and i would have though the opposite, but I suppose if they are gone all the time it might get overdone.
