Dense cities have the same problem or worse. There are even college towns with apartments where nobody talks to each other.

Cities can and often are poorly designed for humans.

Building human-centric places isn’t only about density. Variety of density is good. Places where people can walk, ride bikes, and hang out with friends and family are good.

Congested 6-lane roads aren’t good, whether in cities, suburbs, or rural areas in between.
