Even in the deepest suburbs it’s not that hard to form community and connection with your neighbors.

I get that it’s less “fun” to go out and make friends if you don’t got a riverwalk and cafes, but the most important ingredient is still there, which is other people you just need to step up and make things happen.

A man in a suit (John Mulaney) on a stage with a blank/serious expression on his face. The words "Not unless everyone gets real cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly." are displayed.

There are so many angles to why isolated people don't "just go out and talk to people", though I will spare the rant as I live in an area likely much less densely populated than a suburb so I'm not sure how well my experience would map to what you're saying.

Well, other than it's a lot easier for some people than others due to many aspects (like the bit you mention about dogs will work better for someone who also has a dog) but those are already the sort of things that are the difference between someone with some sort of social life vs someone with none.
