    If they are blocks away, are they a neighbor? What is the geographic boundary to determine neighborness?

      Its relative. In rural areas growing up l, a neighbor could be miles away. Suburban, I would consider anyone in a neighborhood or shared street as a neighbor.

      Now I now live in a walkable urban area that has officially recognized neighborhoods with established boundaries.
