It’s absolutely true, if you live in one town where all types daven and learn in one place, by default you will have to be much more open and acceptive.
There is a famous clip of Rav Shtienman regarding Yeshivas accepting all kinds, he describes how his home town School of Brisk looked like, that basically you had in the same class the Rav’s kids and kids of the local Zionists, and no one had an issue. This is how towns are made up.
