Default Living in a loft

Hi and welcome! I don't think many responders can relate directly to your circumstance. A very, very small % of Villagers live in an apartment, and I expect that apartment living does not lend itself to your neighbors stopping by and introducing themselves as much as living in a neghborhood would. So, my suggestion would be for you to do your due diligence on clubs and activities that interest you (available in the weekly Rec News available thru the Daily Sun and at every Rec Center) or thru the districtgov.org website. Then get out and try them out. I have heard of a relatively small number of people who moved here and never felt part of the community and were bored. I believe that's because they didn't try very hard to find activities that were of interest to them, and therefore never met people who could have become friends. This is all pretty much opinion on my part, but as Randy Newman sings in the "Monk" theme song, "I could be wrong now, but I don't think so." Good luck!
