We are ail hooked' on the ,relatively new idea that alhater life feourselves and7-our families liin changing homes, jobs, neighhorhoods, communities. It is the same patte n of consumption that w. are locked inta for buylng the newest car, electronic gadget or clothes. Moving is the sfingle biggest reason why true communities and neighborhood are hecoming rare. Who wsnts te invest the time and effort te hecome involved ini the lives of their neighhors and their community if -they are going ta move in a few yesrs? Who wants te waste ail that time getting ta know theý people on your street when there is a movmng van in somleone's driveway every other month. Our moblityV is also why crime, is on, the increase. Theives will now park a truck i a driveway and fuil>it i mid-afternoon. Neighhors. watch, wonder and assume that, those people in the next houa. they nover got a chance-ta, know are moving on. We need the deep roots of caring that corne from staying in one place. When that happens, we naturaily extend our sense of personal responsibility beyQnd our own property Unes. Witout that, there can ha ýne neighherhood or community. And- without really being' part of a place, our lives are impoverished. Councillor. Longfield's urban- ization conunittee proposai is net the solution ta, the growing anti-social problems in Whitby. While Whitby could use ideas from such a group, , the ý,real, solution lies with each one of us. To have the k Iind of community we ail wish for ourselves and our children we have ttay heme, te be at home hors, and te take responsibility snd care for our neighbors and our conmuùnity for lon hauL say te ourselves and te our community, that 'Tou can count on me for' the next, 30 years. I arn not going ta move."t Trhere is neo other way te make a place for ourselves, and our children that will truly ha home. Opinions expbresed are those of thze author.
