Interesting, "No meaningful increase in wellbeing is seen for additional neighbors greeted beyond six."

It sounds more to do with correlation vs causation people who are more likely to greet others could have a variety of different factors in their lives making them feel less isolated.

Ok, we'll change the URL to that from https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/mister-rogers-had-a-point-ro..., which points to this and seems a little spammy.

I guess we'll keep its title though because the top comment ("Mr. Rogers was my actual neighbor") won't make sense without it.
