Just a nit to pick: some of us are interested in all sorts of "personal 
growth sorts of things", but not necessarily with my neighbors.  I want 
a secure and comfortable place with friendly neighbors in part to make 
my life a secure and happy base for personal growth...but I don't want 
neighborhood-based therapy to help bring about that growth.

The opposite of "[community-based] process junkies" is not "uninterested 
in personal growth".
