Americans aren't feeling so neighborly anymore

“In the previous generation, if you sat around your apartment long enough, you started to go stir crazy, and that would often compel people to go out,” he said. He said that homes have become entertainment bunkers that let Americans stream, scroll, get directions, and find recommendations without knocking on a neighbor's door. While independence is “empowering” there's a “pernicious element too... It's sort of changing the culture around what we can expect from each other and particularly our neighbors,” Cox said.

The one change that worked: I felt like an outsider in my village until I found a simple way to connect

I live in a fairly average town in Oxfordshire, and despite having friends and family nearby, I never felt as if I was properly a part of the community. I didn't feel rooted, or that I knew my neighbours beyond a quick hello. I moved here in my late 20s with my partner and spent a lot of time at home. In my 30s, I got a dog, had children and started working from home. As a result, I spent a lot more time in my local area, but I still felt like an outsider.
