But they also wouldn’t progress

Ironically, while living nearby can lead to a codependent relationship, it can also cause a stagnant one. There won’t be talk of moving in together, even after a long time of dating because, well, you basically already live together. But you don’t, and it’s a big difference. When I dated my neighbor, we didn’t make a point to meet each other’s friends.

But actually, not making the point to meet each other’s friends meant we never did.
