But they should have had their life choices respected within the law of course. By and large they were. I knew an 80 year old that still lived in the apartment building she was born in. She owned the building and we respected her as one of the ladies of the neighborhood.

What state or city in the US have the most social and intermingling vibe?

I spoke with a american on visit in Oslo long ago. He had lived in several US cities and liked Chicago the most.

And they have inherent distrust of governments. It is probably a good thing since it is quite novel in the human history. Throughout the history and everywhere else on this planet, people are trained to trust their government.
