In the midst of all the politicking going on during a municipal election, remember: ACTIONS speak louder than words and campaign funding. Ask candidates to "SHOW YOUR WORK". What sweat equity have you built in this community?

Sometimes it's good to step back and question how our habits cause our problems.

We keep looking for neighborhood gathering places while lawns and driveways sit empty most of the year.

A lot of that space already sits right outside our homes, yet we usually treat it as private scenery or somewhere to store a car rather than somewhere neighbors might actually spend time together.

Kat Vellos explored what happens when people start treating those spaces as places for connection. In her Local-Motive session, she shared the story of a woman who wanted to know her neighbors without bringing a group of strangers into her house, so she turned her driveway into a Saturday coffee club and used sidewalk chalk to invite people on the block.

Because neighbors already have proximity working in their favor, repeated invitations can help unfamiliar faces become people who know and look out for one another. When one person goes first and gives everyone else a reason to gather, a lawn or driveway can start doing much more for the block than its usual job.
