> Much better than community is family.

This is so contrary to a century of results from social research from multiple disciplines from all over the world it would be hard to know where to start to counter it. Community is fundamental to humanity, the nuclear 'family' a local and occasionally useful innovation.

Please do try. I don't think what you are saying is true at all and it certainly isn't any thing like a universally accepted scientific truth.

Provide a source. I don't remember the last time I've ever relied on "community" for social needs.
