Wtf? I live in the suburbs and we talk regularly to the neighbours. Is this some weird US-specific dystopia?

It's automatic garage door culture. You pull up to your house and hit the garage open button and when you leave it's the same, you just drive away and never see anyone, you close your garage remotely and you're gone. Maybe if you do your own lawn care you'll see neighbors but many people hire lawn care professionals. I don't have a garage to park in. But my wife likes to do the lawn care. So I'm only outside while walking to or from my car. My wife hates the cold so snow shoveling is on me. I'm about to be shoveling more in five minutes :)

Community is hard to come by here. It's bad.
