New Yorkers are not notably genial neighbors. Many get to know one another solely by what manages to permeate
their deadbolted doors—an odoriferous stew, the wail of a child, the hushed sighs of intimate moments.
But the boom in condos loaded with amenities, along with the construction of some high-end rental buildings, has
created opportunities for neighbors to make the transition from polite elevator nods to cocktail-caliber mingling. More
and more properties in the city feature community amenities like gyms, lounges, and roof decks. These, and more novel
spaces—cinemas, wet bars, squash courts, outdoor rain showers, are putting lounges with a lonely television set to shame,
and they are fostering a clubby college-dormitory atmosphere in several developments.
“We’re extremely social creatures, and I think people in New York suffer from an inability to really interact with
people,” said Susan Meiklejohn, associate professor of urban planning at Hunter College. This is not because New
Yorkers are cold, Dr. Meiklejohn said, but because the city is so dense that people avoid one another to establish buffer
zones. “What level of friendliness can you possibly sustain each day if you have to say hello to everybody you meet on
34th Street?” she said. The design of many new buildings, however, are gradually making New Yorkers venture beyond
tight-lipped hellos at the mailbox.

The process of language extinction is natural. Languages have always 11 into other languages. For example,
Latin turned into Italian, and Anglo-Saxon into English. Languages may disappear for many reasons: natural
disasters, wars, and diseases. In the 1960s, a group of Western explorers exposed a village in Venezuela to
influenza. Having no immunity to the disease, almost the entire village died. That village was the only place where
the Trumai language was spoken. In some cases, governments have 12 minority groups to abandon their
native languages. In the United States, Canada, and Australia, young speakers of native languages were once forced
to attend boarding schools where the use of their mother tongues was 13 . Mass media, such as movies and
television, are often 14 for destroying languages, but according to an African language specialist, the biggest
threats are actually improved transportation and economic pressure. Young adults move to cities and, to compete for
jobs, must learn 15 languages. They then do not teach their children their native tongues.
