Neighborhood

So like back in the day there was this concept of a neighborhood. In the "good old days" everybody just hung outside because they didn't have shit and were all in the same situation. the reality of the situation is that people were pretty segregated based on race and social status and where they immigrated from and formed tight knit communities based upon some social identity and necessity. Fact is that that nostalgic time is gone in the gentrified areas of the city, and sense of identity is based upon whatever the fuck you feel like (e.g. taste in music) as opposed to immediate geographic locality. Seems like a damn shame to me that I can't have a sense of community. There maybe needs to be a new social definition of neighborhood that transcends the traditional immigrant based groups and the new i only hang out with people who are the same as me community. Fuck it I'm drunk and sitting on my porch. Bitches.
