people have no friends anymore

All my friends are people I have known for 10+ years and mostly met through school.

And due to urban sprawl, everyone gets into their car in their garage, drives to work, then drives back to their garage. There's no room for walking to the neighborhood pub, convenience store, pharmacy, etc and bumping into neighbors on the way.

I used to live downtown in a small town and it was like that. I had other terrible issues there but man did I miss the sense of community.

All my friends are also alcoholics, and either asexual or married.
