Yes, that’s where I live, too. Most of us are pretty chill. Our gun laws are ridiculous, which is why stuff like that happens, but the vast majority of us are not walking around and shooting children.
As a Canadian(and not the guy you replied to) I can pretty comfortably say that I don’t trust the US at all and “the vast majority” is not nearly good enough. Thank goodness I’m not a person of colour because it’s wild how frequently people will shot those folks through their door for the crime of knocking on it.
crazy person also drives by every day with LED headlights and flash bangs every living room in sight, while idling their car for over ten minutes every morning in the winter
because it’s not about what’s actually intrusive, it’s about their own selfish concerns
“I’ve been” usually implies a “so far” and is broader than strict present tense (includes previous places of residence). Another way to phrase it could be “I’m fortunate enough to have had great neighbors everywhere I’ve lived”
Before I read the post text I was going to yell “Fake!” because surely a Karen would ruin this.

What’s the meaning of the past tense there? “I’ve been fortunate enough”

Fuck the US.
Nowhere close to where this would happen. But I’ve watched The Perfect Neighbor

Thanks for explaining. English is my second language, and I’ve forgotten that present perfect can describe actions that are still ongoing.
i’m assuming that they don’t get a constant influx of new neighbors, so the fortune is in the past.
I moved recently. Looking forward to starting it up again in my new neighborhood
