A good
neighborhood can be likened to a jigsaw puzzle—the picture is formed by many
pieces, all of which are important.
When the right mix of pieces is working together the neighborhood
becomes a living place with the whole being greater than the sum of its
parts. It does not matter if people
living in the neighborhood are well-off or of limited means—when people care
about where they live, their neighbors and their community, then the feeling
becomes a part of the surroundings. A
“social and physical chemistry” develops, telling everyone this neighborhood
is a great place to live. It says this
place is home.
