What is a Good Neighbor?

Being a good neighbor matters. Mr. Rogers did a wonderful job of teaching most of us to be good neighbors. In fact, despite the polarization of today’s environment, you might be surprised to learn that 86% of people like their neighbors. Mrs. Kravitz, on the other hand, was not such a good neighbor.
