I am a journalism student in Sydney doing a story about how covid/the lockdowns have affected peoples relationships with their neighbours.
By way of background, there has been a bit of coverage in the press about how covid has brought neighbours closer together. On the other side of the coin, there has also been stories about disputes between neighbours about noise and other things like that whilst people are stuck at home. In my own neighbourhood in Sydney I've noticed a lot more people complaining about dogs defecating in front of peoples houses (i've literally seen 2 hand written signs saying dog's can't defecate in front of this house, weird- it makes me think that is because people are spending so much time at home.)
So i'm keen to know- how has everyone's relationships with their neighbours been since covid? Have they got worse? Or have they got better? Has an issue about construction/renovation noise escalated since the virus began? Is that dog barking now unbearable when you have to work at home?

Thanks.
