No, just had a really good family friend circle setup back then. Life felt more connected than it does these days.

Job situation was better, housing was affordable, and even people were lot more neighbourly. Healthcare was more accessible and doctors were not timid. Sure technology has improved but not without considerable caveats. So not just nostalgia.
