NORFOLK, Va. — Good fences make good neighbors, right?
It turns out, all this time spent in isolation at home has actually helped us tear down some of those social walls.
BusinessElectric.com surveyed thousands of Americans and found many have met a next-door neighbor for the first time during lockdown.
It seems staying at home has improved neighbor to neighbor relationships.
BusinessElectric.com broke down the findings state by state. In North Carolina, 15 percent of respondents said they met a nearby neighbor for the first time.
In Virginia, 13 percent of people admitted that was the case.
It may come as no surprise why this is the case, though.
Daily walks have become a new tradition for many families itching to get out, and that means, quite literally, your paths were more likely to cross.
