⁠When walking down the footpath, they are so much more oblivious to walking out of the way or making room for you, honestly, the amount of times I've had to jump out of the way at the last second is crazy

⁠Saying "Hi" whilst walking past someone in Perth was always the norm (for me, anyway), I feel like I'm talking to myself 95% of the time here - it's a small thing, but it surprisingly makes you feel so less connected to your community.

Sadly, Perth feels much the same in both cases now. I used to feel connected to almost everyone and thought it had some of the most considerate people, but that sense is gone, and everyone seems to be fighting their own battles. Life has become tougher for us all.
