Awww - sometimes I wish we had friends in our neighborhood. Think of all the times you can have drinks together and not have to worry about someone driving home
I'd be excited if I was close to them. Are you close with them? It'd be fun!
And of course, you'll decorate better than them
Obviously H is closer to the other guy than I am to the wife, but I'd have no issues building a stronger friendship with them. The wife is similar to me in tastes and personality so I think it'll be okay!
