I really think Chrysanthos hit the nail on the head. Community events, barbecues and get involved.
My line of thinking was more spiritual survival, his was probably more correct for social survival.
But if I had to add more ... knowing people through your job, church, organizations, service, volunteering.
I know when I was in college I volunteered for stuff, of all things I made a lot of adult friends at an after school program for kids in a barrio by Disneyland. Even though I was surrounded by millions I was still new to the area and didn\'t mean I knew a lot of people ya know?
Every community has its own quirks and culture be it a big city or little rural area. Adapt.
