Okay so in the 1960s was it common for neighbors to just barge into homes or is that just a sitcom thing?
I mean I did have an elderly neighbor a few years ago who would do that and everyone chalked it up to him being "old-fashioned" but I don't think that was, like, normal, was it?

Depends where you lived.
10 years ago, I lived on an island, with the community feel and only a couple hundred people. Doors were optional. People had sitcom moments - like catching cheaters on the couch. People also borrowed from each other's kitchens, sheds, without asking. The excuse being you have to fly in new things. Thats expensive n hard.
... I hated that aspect. Loved the people, the community. Not the lack of privacy.
