I'm not totally sure, let's explore this a bit. There are two definitions for "community" when I look this up: 1. "A group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common." 2. "A feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals." By the first definition, I don't agree with you. If there are people living near one another, then a community exists. By the second definition, you're at least somewhat correct. When the people are gone/have changed, then that "feeling of fellowship" has disappeared/become unrecognizably different. I don't think it's wrong to be frustrated or saddened when we lose things like relationships. But I don't think we should demonize others.
