Well, sure. Your neighbor is the one who waits an extra week to mow his lawn, which looks bad, and drags down everyone's property values. Your neighbor is the one whose dog pooped in your yard that one time.
I suspect that proximity has a great deal more to do with it than similarity. If your neighbor is actually significantly different than you (ugh, the weird smells from the strange food those people eat!) I would think it makes it even worse.
