The use of sidewalks – contact

(Togetherness or nothing / private or public)

In use of sidewalks to contact with others, chooses are “Togetherness” or nothing. “The more outcome in cities, where people are faced with the choice of sharing much or nothing, is nothing.” People are willing to keeping their own privately but togetherness with the neighborhoods. As Jacobs’s mentions, in the well sidewalks public contact neighborhoods, people would love to share everything with others, helping others, giving advices and even giving their homes key to their friends when they are out from the weekends or not at home. For this kind of neighborhood, “it implies no private commitments.” Would you like to give up your privates to gain the well knowing neighborhood? It really depend on people’s believe and the level of “trust” form each others. It is not easy to trust with people that you don’t know, and it’s in America. Here are too many different races, cultures and believe. Contracting with one race in one neighborhood, and mix neighborhood, it will be less residential racism or discrimination for people to feel unsafe on their sidewalks. I don’t mean that one race in a neighborhood can have well sidewalk public contact, because there still have many social problems for people be “togetherness”. For all, event thought, people are willing to not be sharing much, they are willing to have the “exuberant and varied sidewalk life”, and they will love to pay more to move in. Again, togetherness or nothing, or private or public depend on you. (for real, i love to have a well knowing and togetherness neighborhood..and you?)
