Asked at Del Monte Shopping Center in Monterey.

Follow-up: Describe your ideal neighbor.

SAM LOBUE | San Jose | District Manager

A: Even with high gas prices I’m not willing to give up travel. I came today to go to Monterey and Carmel. I just organize my trips more wisely and do it all in one trip.

Love Thy Neighbor: I’ve already got him—somebody who is very respectful to others. Sometimes you have to go through four or five before you get the right one.

LAURA LEWIS | Carmel Valley | Homemaker and Student

A: I do insist on having a date with my husband every week. I will not compromise on taking the time to go out. That and the remote control when watching TIVO leftovers of The West Wing.

Political Fanatic: Richard Schiff from West Wing. He’s georgeous and I’d love to be able to peek over the fence at him.

PRAVINDRA PRASID |Seaside | Student

A: I have to have meat. I can’t just eat vegetables all the time. Pork is something I just can’t live without.
