    So inspiring, so positive, so creative, filling such a great need! This way our suburbs can feel more like paradise!

    This is so important! The best way to build community truly is feet on the ground, connecting with those around you. I organized a paint party as a birthday gift for my grandmother to color and decorate the dock and steps my grandmother built with leftover wood, and it was such a transformative experience visually and socially. One of my partner's introverted friends said she understands socializing because of it. Point being, working together with the people around you is such a game changer and I'm excited to no end to extend that sense of community and purpose into my neighborhood and even more of my local community. It takes a village!

    In a post COVID-19 world, the need for these approaches within community are even more important, thank you for your inspiring talk.

    It somehow took me 10 years to find this, but this is now my favorite TED talk ever. Thank you for sharing this!

    I love this so much. I get frustrated by people who want to move to a place where neighbors are all in agreement or all like them, they never think about changing the place they currently live in. That's the real work. That's real change.

    I am so inspired by your talk! I want to try this on my street. Everyone is so disconnected and it is very depressing. You have so many good ideas, I feel like I have opened up a box of treasures. Thank you so much for sharing. I just love you!

    This was one of my favorite Ted talks. It was hopeful and gave actionable ideas. Have a street party, sign people up for a meeting, brainstorm then make stuff happen. Great! Now I have a second obsession.

    I just shared this video with my Japanese students for our unit on community-building. Thanks for sharing your story Shani!

    Thank you Shani for the inspiration. We've just launched a community association on a council estate in the UK in South London - we're a very different community to yours on the face of it, but I think once we get going the differences won't be so obvious.

    Thank you, Shani! I would like to come visit Hulbert Street soon. In the meantime, I share your talk. The pictures make the stories come to life! Great way to build a community.

    Great talk. I'm interested in mental health and believe communities like the one you created help to sustain good mental health. Great effort :)

    This is fantastic! Thank you. I own David Holmgren's book Retrosuburbia that contains the "Aussie Street" parable and I love it but I think I might enjoy your version most. Thank you for sharing it!

    We had a community meeting last night in Area E, ( Elphinstone ) concerning potential traffic overload on Pratt road because of the future development on Gospel Rock in Gibson. During the discussions, your name and this TH-cam video was mentioned. I enjoyed your presentation very much. Greetings from a 43 year resident of Gibsons, on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. Thank you

    Thanks for the living example of a way forward.
    "Every city is concerned about health, children, safety, the land, the local economy and those on the margins. Government policies and social services are at their limits. The next wave of impact will come from citizens connected to their neighbors engaged in bringing their gifts and humanity to each other. This social capital is what keeps us healthy, what raises our children, holds us safe and keeps dollars circulating locally. Every health care worker, educator, police chief and economist that is paying attention knows this is true. That is why citizen engagement is on all their agendas." Peter Block

      But tyranny has, and will only get worse. Building community is critical to be resilient against WHATEVER this world will throw at us.
