There really is such a lack of cohesion in neighborhoods these days. I thought this might just be an urban or suburban thing but even back in Yuma (which I realize is growing ever more suburban) there is a growing disconnect between people in the same area. I wonder if things like solar panels for a community are less expensive than trying to buy them for each individual house. I love their water collection feature on their carports, such a simple thing to do and it seems so straight forward - why wouldn't we do it that way in the first place? :c) It seems like this community has a lot of great things going for it.
