How is a detached house an ‘isolating hell’?

I have lived in apartments and single family homes about 50/50 both as a kid, and as an adult, and I’d say bigger places have had an edge in terms of socializing just because it’s more comfortable to host people - but not by much.

BBQs are a great getting together activity summers (good weather). Many apartment buildings don’t have balconies or communal space fir BBQs... detached houses (or ‘plexes) make that activity easier.
