When I was looking at TV, I asked my Dad about a month before he died about its size as a concern. His answer (paraphrased).
"It is not a 100,000 people in a city, it is 50 or so communities. You will know many of yours but not many 2-3 Villages away. In West Islip, you don't even know the guy down the block. Put another way, I lived in Brooklyn. But I didn't grow up in Brooklyn - or even Williamsburg. I grew up on Stockholm St."
Wise Man.
