That is definitely not the case in most communities. Most people are spending too much time working and driving to afford community activities, let alone spend time with their family and to put their feet up.
Hillhurst, for example, has next to no community spirit left. When I was a kid, there were block parties, christmas caroling, and all that jazz. Now there's nothing, and the residents are getting old and complacent about the whole thing.
