Foreclosing on a neighborhood

Imagine having finally landed in a dream situation. A home - no more landlords. Feeling like part of a real community. Then...

Dear friends,

It is easy to put blame on people who have no power. What if millions of Americans began thinking and initiating their own "Habitat for Humanity" programs, across the country?

Below, is the link to a recent story that I read in the New York Times. It is very well written, in my opinion, and raises the question of the role that citizens may want to consider playing with each other, instead of embracing the anti-social, anti-community spirit, dog-eat-dog - wishing your fellows "the worse" - mindset that permeates many social and cultural experiences and events in our society, including its prevalence on television "Reality" shows, and the many and varied gambling forums.

One Love,
