If I did live in a progressive neighborhood, full of street people, I would throw street parties, and have a neighborhood watch, and look for alternatives to being on the utility grids... eh... how about it?
Ideally, communities support like-minded citizens, and boost morale's. While some aspects of community do this ... it usually is accomplished by a spartan volunteer effort. I think we should throw some money at it and see how quick politicians line up to support the efforts.

By the end of the sixties, the town was in bad shape. Shops were empty and blocks of terraced houses were being pulled down. ... 2010 marks 500 years of the Hebden Bridge. ... (LINK)"
