When you say "live and let live" it seems impersonal or mutually exclusive. Like "they do their thing, you do yours, never the twain shall meet".

I think GP is advocating exercising social skills rather than "live and let live" without interaction between you.

Get to know each other - BBQ or similar. Sure, you find out or confirm you hate some of their views/hobbies. But it also means you develop human empathy and usually find things you do agree on.

Maybe you hate their loud car. But you both hate the climbing vine on the fenceline and could spend a saturday morning fixing that together.
