The concept of neighbors knowing one another faded out first with the advent of television in the last 1T and accelerated in the 2T when home air conditioning became the norm and many chose to remain indoors on warm evenings. The trend then was called into question late 2T and into 3T as a cause of more people getting involved in drugs and assorted mayhem.
Could anything bring it back in the next 1T? It seems we've formed social groups based on common interests that are spread out over the country, or world. It works thanks to the Internet. People would rather Zoom with their friends around the country than have a neighborhood porch party with the people who live aroudn them.
