It's not that they're close knit or require getting to know anyone. It's that your sounds and smells are an involuntarily shared experience. You don't have to know your neighbors to know they're cooking fish, or having a party, or just fucking loud. And some portion of them are inconsiderate self absorbed assholes.
Your family loves to talk about the neighbors, because they have a choice, to go somewhere they can do that. It's not something they're forced to experience by proximity, so the opportunity is a treat.
I agree sounds and smells are more common in the city, but to me that isn't an issue with introversion since that isn't socializing? Seems more like sensory sensitivity, not introversion. Someone can have both of course.
