*unless* they act in a way that show that they regard themselves as
better than their neighbours, or are suspected of "grassing". So long
as they live their lives as they wish, and are tolerant and reasonably
pleasant toward those who wish to live differently, there is no
problem at all.
And just how do people "act in a way that show that they regard
themselves as better than their neighbours"?
In the same way as you might get that impression from someone. By
remaining aloof and refusing to socialise (or refusing to allow your
kids to play with their kids). By making judgemental comments. By
being critical of their behaviour. By being arrogant. Etc.
