Translations:Being a Considerate Neighbour/2/en

Neighbour relations are often discussed as a matter of noise, but the subject is broader than volume. It involves shared entrances, staircases, courtyards, parking areas, waste disposal, deliveries, and the general sense of predictability that people build about the place they live in. Small patterns accumulate into reputation, and reputation shapes how much goodwill is available when something unexpected happens.
