Building a supportive community is impossible when you don't know the people who live around you. You don't need to become best friends and learn every little detail about your neighbours. However, it's a good idea to introduce yourself and make a list of their names and phone numbers. In this way you can talk to them in an emergency and discuss problems if they arise. Holidays can help you bring people together and create unity. All you need to do is organise an annual event that all your neighbours can enjoy. Think about a parade where kids can show off their costumes or a garage sale day or a block party on Independence Day. The trick is making this holiday enjoyable and regular. When people have something they look forward to and plan together every year, they become more invested in their neighborhood. There's a widespread belief that the police are not doing their jobs. What you need to understand is that law enforcement officers cannot act if they have not heard about the problem. Therefore, when you witness a crime (a minor one such as graffiti vandalism or a more serious one like assault), immediately phone the police. Don't assume someone else has done it already. Make a call yourself. It's no secret that we live in a fast-paced world. Everyone seems to be in a rush. People break the rules not to be late and that is why driving accidents happen every day. You need to learn the art of slowing down. Stop signs and street bumps can make your neighbourhood safer, but you can contribute too. Don't hit the gas, don't jump the red light. Always drive slowly through your area. You can't form a community without knowing your neighbours. It's a good idea to learn as much as possible about the people who live around you. When people dress up in costumes, they always enjoy themselves. Many people think that the police don't do enough. Graffiti vandalism is a serious crime. Modern people hurry up a lot.
