Lou and others,
You said "Part of it is that people who are in the prime of life are
just to busy trying to earn a living to invest in the community like
they used to, and so that puts even more of the burden on older people."
Another factor that I think plays a part is that society has become much
more mobile over the last 50 years and move around a lot, and do not put
down roots. People are less likely to get to know their neighbors. I see
this wherever I have lived in apartments, we walk by one another every day
and no one says hi to the other.

I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know what to feed it.
