Are people glad you are their neighbor?

During the plagues of the first few centuries, many Christians refused to "run for the hills," instead sacrificially risking their lives to stay in the cities and care for their sick neighbors. Incredibly, you were statistically more likely to survive if you had a Christian as a neighbor! What would it look like today for us to love our nonbelieving neighbors so well that people would be filled with gratitude when a Christian moved into their neighborhood.
