Professor Svalastoga explains like this: "You cannot borrow too from neighbours who are far away, so their “utility to you la nil. This factorthe ex- tent to which one can help one another-plays n decisive part in the development of neigh- bourly relations."

Moreover, at Groendalsvaenge, just over 50 per cent are satis- ded with things sus they are.
