Yes, we like living in communities out here near to our fellow humans. Sprawl living is one the planks of Communism created by Karl Marx, and promoted by the French Socialist Le Corbusier.
"Plank #9 - Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country." (Karl Marx, Communist Manifesto)
"The cities will be part of the country; I shall live 30 miles from my office in one direction, under a pine tree; my secretary will live another 30 miles away from it too, in the other direction, under another pine tree. We shall both have our own car. We shall use up tires, wear out road surfaces and gears, consume oil and gasoline. All of which will necessitate a great deal of work...enough for all." (Le Corbusier, "The Radiant City", 1967)
So ya'll live in a Socialist dream world. How do ya' like them apples?
I can talk to a fellow human being in the house a couple hundred feet down the road without any difficulty. One doesn't need to be able to bang on the wall of the next apartment over in order to have a conversation or a neighbor.

A simple desire to have living space actually predates Marx substantially and takes its roots in Jefferson's agrarianism. Meanwhile, a common feature of virtually every 1984-esque "communist nightmare world of tommorrow" book is the densely populated city with people crowded into identical little cube dwellings stacked on top of one another in the middle of an urban wasteland.
