My experience has been the same as yours - I spent years living in NYC and years living in rural Wisconsin. The difference, in terms of social contact, is remarkable. It used to kill me when I'd roll up to a complete stranger's farm to ask for permission to hunt out on their property and end up getting dragged into the house to have dinner with their family, ha ha.
- prawn 11y agoIs that because of the people themselves, or because you had a reason to interact socially? I think given reasons to interact, people in denser areas have just as healthy relationships. But many of us don't create those opportunities by default on the street or in the apartment lift. But provide a little catalyst (street parade, removalist trying to reverse down a tight lane, lost dog, etc) and people come together.
