FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Indians in Gated Communities Meet Their Neighbors Online

So it goes…
Via: Washington Post:
Sumit Jain has fond memories of his childhood in a small town where everybody knew everybody. But as a young man, he moved to a big city for work and began living in an apartment building. Jain said he soon missed feeling connected to a community.
That sense of loss led him to create Commonfloor.com, a “neighborhood portal� for Indians whose lifestyles have changed with this nation’s economic transformation but who still crave neighborhood life. A sort of hyper-local version of Facebook, Commonfloor creates online communities for the half a million users in 30,000 apartment buildings across 100 cities it has attracted so far.
“Something fundamental is changing among urban Indians today,� said Jain, 27, a software engineer and co-founder of the start-up in the southern city of Bangalore. “We no longer know who our next-door neighbor is, we don’t speak to each other in the elevators and we cannot knock on the neighbor’s door just to say hello without making them wary.�
As India’s economy modernizes, millions of young people are leaving their parents’ homes to find work, and many of them are moving into apartment complexes in the city. These fortress-like gated communities — with uniformed security guards and surveillance cameras — are designed to keep strangers out. But neighborly ties are rare as residents adjust to fast-paced lives, long commutes and access to an abundance of technology.
