The is true, but to the point of the thread, you'd meet other people down washing their clothes bu the river. It would be a communal activity.

We don't have communal activity anymore. No reason to interact.

The most community I felt was when I was in poverty, like boarding house poverty, and a storm wiped the power out for ten days. We all came together. It was brilliant.

Once the power went back on, everyone withdrew back to their homes, and resumed isolation.
