Sort of?

it takes a village to raise a child

Now it’s just the parents and maybe a close friend/relative.

People are a lot less close with their neighbours given they can get that companionship online.

If you have a bad harvest (or more modernly lose your job) your neighbours aren’t likely to feed you/keep you in your home.

The saying probably includes stuff like food production and creating and maintaining shelter.

If you were a hunter-gatherer, probably the latter would be good enough, but that's where originates the difference in future potential.
