If your local town zoning forbids you from building
detached accessory buildingsaccessory dwelling units for having your nephew live in, change the fucking zoning. Community is facilitated by convenience, and living within a stone's throw from loved ones is great way to build community.-
That is happening in some places. Accessory dwelling units (the term of art in planning and zoning worlds) are being allowed more and more. Things change slowly in the urban planning and zoning world, though.

The greatest joy that money can't replicate is a big potluck dinner at someone's home with friends. No expectations, no food judgment, just a chance to hang out and not be expected to spend $100 at a restaurant you don't like.

Aww, I didn't know that about OKC. I met my wife on there in 2015, married in 2017, and had our first kid in 2019. Of all the dating sites, it was the best for weeding out what I wanted in a partner. I hate capitalism even more now.

It's still better than the alternatives. But it got massively enshittified over the years

Capitalism is part of it. Spending too much time on the internet and social media is a hell of a lot more of it.

Capitalism bastardised the internet to be like this. There was a communal web in the making.

It is by design, but unless you wanna rot in your basement until you expire, it's up to you to defy the pushes of the system to complacency. Going out and making some friends with a common interest immediately improves your life.
