I agree with every one of your points. I mean to say "people want to be close to one another" as a philosophy along a spectrum. People crave belonging, connection, intimacy, stimulus, novelty. In a grand sense we really do choose to congregate.
That said, yes for sure there's much suck about the filth, obliviousness, and inconsideration of "other people". I like people, but I do not live on top of people. I want the ability to walk or bike to my stimulus. And then retreat back to solitude.
Completely get you! In simple terms, I just think it has to occur silly to people, that 8 billion humans are gonna have their 2 acres of land and that that is somehow _actually_ ideal beyond "I want what I want the way I want it". Quite literally the concept of Civilization is honoring a WE more than an I.
