Even in one location it's a big issue. When even a small city has more than 10k people, the people with resources might not personally know those who don't have them.
You don't need to personally know them. But having to rely on local structures does wonders. If people had to walk or maybe bicycle to the nearest supermarket or couldn't commute 40km in half an hour, I'm sure the local structures would look very different. There have always been markets.
