I didn't say that urban areas are less neighbourly.

I meant that the range of densities that are conducive to neighbourliness is a necessary, but insufficient condition.

People on average need to feel both economically secure enough and at the same time so wealthy as to not rely on anyone else.

They also need a third-place in which to congregate

This is why American suburbs outside the north east are so soul crushing - the "third place" is typically a church instead of a a pub.
