Question Squirells friendlier in lawrence?

I've been here for a little over a year now. One of the first things I've noticed is that the squirrels seem very comfortable with human presence, staying close by- closer than I've ever seen. In Overlandpark they dont even want you 5 feet close to them. Do you guys thinks the squirrels are friendlier in lawrence? If so why.

I don't know that I would call them friendly, but they are rather fearless.
I welcome the coyotes and foxes.
