I have lived in the same house for 4+ years and hardly know ANY of my next-door neighbors.
My Community is mostly my Church and none of them live within 50 miles from me.
I think I have the only small garden for miles around. I know I had the only American Flag flying for years. Virtually all of my near neighbors have children at home. I have great grandchildren, no family except my very like-minded wife anywhere close.
I agree that in many locations "geographical proximity" is an easy basis of creating a community, but for me it has been and probably will be a community based on similar viewpoints and values
