The importance of a community

How important is a sense of community? In most societies, community is very important. Whether you define community as your town or just your neighborhood, having a sense of belonging is very important to a person's well-being. Why is community so important?
Feeling like a part of a community lends a sense of togetherness to people. We feel we are all in this together. We enjoy spending time together and we care if our neighbors fall on hard times. We have someone to talk to and share our lives with.
By living in communities, we can also utilize a division of labor. One person doesn't need to be the doctor and the farmer and the house-builder. We can hire someone to build our house when we don't have the expertise to do so ourselves. We go to the doctor who has years of schooling to care for us when we are sick, rather than trying to care for ourselves with our limited knowledge. This makes our lives much easier.
As humans, we are social creatures by nature. We seek out other humans. We need other people to talk to and share our lives with.
So we are asking you- reach out to us. We are happy to listen. If you need someone to discuss your current property management situation and how to improve us, we are glad to lend our expertise. That is after all, our portion of the division of labor. Please contact us if we can be of any assistance.
