It’s not just Rand Paul’s street: Americans are a lot less neighborly than they used to be

Trust is declining, too. The General Social Survey's data shows that the share of Americans saying most people can be trusted has fallen from nearly 50 percent in the 1970s to just over 30 percent today.

That lack of trust extends to our neighbors: In 2016 nearly half of Americans told the Pew Research Center that they trust only “some” or “none” of their neighbors. Mirroring the numbers on social interactions above, the survey found that people in rural areas were most trusting of their neighbors, while those in urban areas trusted their neighbors the least.

The trust part is most concerning...but I can understand the distrust when people are convinced everything you say is #fakenews and you are convinced everything they say is #fakenews.

That data doesn’t look like much of a trend.

You’re confusing being a hipster with being European.
