" Real people are unique, they invest years of their lives in significant relationships with other unique people, and are not interchangeable in the least.

Severed from their realtionships, they are destroyed as effective social beings - sometimes for a little while, sometimes forever."

- J Jacobs, The Death And Life of Great American Cities

" ... a nod, a friendly word, a recognized face, an uttered name- this is all that is needed to establish and preserve in some fashion the sense of belonging together"
- Neighborhood and Neighborhood Unit, Mumford '68
