This might be a subjective thing, but living in a village makes looking out for each other not only easier, but feel more natural. The old woman two houses over, whose doorbell you rang at least once a week as a small kid because you or your sister accidentally kicked a ball into her garden, falls and struggles to get up? Of course you want to help! And luckily, while her daughter (across the street) isn't there, her granddaughter (another house further) is.

And if this were a bigger city, rather than the 5000 souls place it is, I don't think I would have started ringing doorbells all around the moment I saw her from my window. I know, I'm not the most social person around, but... I guess I like knowing that there is a place where I _do_ feel the urge to help.
