“Neighborhoods are the basic building blocks of a city. Neighborhoods are places to live, raise families, and socialize with friends and neighbors. For most people, purchasing a home is the largest financial investment they will make. However, housing choice is not based solely on the value of property. Homeowners are also interested in the schools their children will attend, the parks they will enjoy, the type of development that is planned for the surrounding areas, and the roads they will travel. Strong neighborhoods are not just a collection of houses within a subdivision boundary; neighborhoods also contribute to a unique sense of place and community identity, with residents contributing to partnerships, leadership, and civic involvement. In many ways, a community is only as strong and sustainable as its neighborhoods.”-

QUOTE FROM THE COLLEGE STATION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
There are great words. What we need are actions that back up the sentiment. If you don't think that the actions of Staff and Council are reflecting these ideas, there is only one thing to do. Get involved. We are the city. If we only become eneged when there is something happening in our own backyard that we do not like we will have a disjointed, reactionary city. We seek neighborhood integrity. What does integrity mean to you?
