A broken TV.

If my neighbour has a "removing raw sewage from living spaces" problem, it is very much a concern for me.

If my neighbour can't watch TV, I don't care.

Even a broken TV can be a social problem in some circumstances.

TV breaks because entropy doesn't like you = personal problem.

TV breaks because manufacture designed it to fail 3 months after warranty = social problem.
