Yeah you’re not wrong. It’s certainly part of a larger trend towards being less connected to your community. Some of that is obvious with large urban areas. Les

Yeah you’re not wrong. It’s certainly part of a larger trend towards being less connected to your community. Some of that is obvious with large urban areas. Less personal space at home. No yard. Higher crime/distrust of strangers. You need tons of influence/power to be a leader in your community. But the suburb example is less obvious. Perhaps connecting with the world through your computer/smartphone more than 1:1 is one reason. Although not all suburbs are the same. In larger cities the population is high enough that they fit the same profile I described above for the city proper.
