Good Samaritans aren't necessarily from your neighborhood. The point of the parable is not to be a good neighbor to the people next door.I'm the best neighbor there is.
I'm quiet I keep my house and yard immaculately clean. I mind my own business and I have an 8 foot fence around my property because good fences make good neighbors.

The Samaritans often taunted the Jews. They rejected all of the Old Testament except the Pentateuch, and they claimed to have an older copy than the Jews and boast that they observe the precepts better.
The Jews repaid them with hatred. They rejected the Samaritan copy of the law and publicly denounced that Samaritans were of any Jewish birth (John 4:12).
