We got so cynical when unscrupulous and dishonest hustlers realized they could capitalize on the bonhomie and good nature of average folks. I don't think people have gotten tired of being good people. Just overwhelmingly tired of scamsters trying to take advantage at every possible chance.
Perhaps if we were harder on scammers, maybe if we felt free to unceremoniously kick hustlers off our property we might see a return to genial neighborliness.
