I live in NYC and in my area of the Lower Eastside, we smile as people walk past, say hello to our neighbors, we hold the door open for those coming in behind us. We also help our neighbors like during the blackout people went from door to do on 21 floor across 4 buildings to make sure that the shut ins knew what was happening.
When I travel around the world and I see places outside of the US, I see the same "fears" being peddled. Right now people still aren't buying it, but at some point in time the scales will be tipped.
