If one was to look at the papers one could think apocalyptically…that the world might be on the way out…we have to think of WHOLISTIC communities..Green, healthy support for small business and the local people ..helping one another..Main street in new Rochelle is an example..one might walk up and down and look to see what are the positives…overall many stores, though a number are needed..second floor spaces taken, and to me great Churches on Main Street…a number of them…we are blessed to have them there..you can go to Mass, pop in for a bible study..pray in French and Creole around the corner, helping with your spiritual needs…someday I hope there may be a synagogue on Main there too..there are healthy places to work out, healthy places to live..and good people..the cons are the lack of walkable space, a highway is Main street, polluting the walkers and office dwellers homes and cars..and lungs..and no bike lanes…more to follow.

 

How do we buid and rebuild our communities for the long run…how do we do this with you..inyour own community..Last people neednot be taxed out of their community but need to be able to work to live and then retire in ways that they are not fearful that taxes will be the killer of their life…stay tuned..

 

I want to thank Lloyd Cox Insurance of Bedford for meeting with us yesterday…also a shout out to Valhallha high school principal and vice principal for meeting with us..Today listen live for one hour on WVOX 1460am to my radio show on wholistiic communities…God bless.
