My favourite part about travelling is returning home.

There's something about the familiarity, sameness, comforts and routine that I sadly miss when I'm away for more than a day or two.

Returning home isn't all roses.

I'm reminded how much my hometown fails to live up to its potential and falls short in many ways to make the city a safe and habitable place for its residents.

I truly believe that a person needs to love the place they live and support it in all of the ways they can. With that said, the same person cannot live with their head in the sand and refuse to recognize how far behind their hometown is in building a livable and world class environment.

We all want to live in a comfortable home we can afford. We all want to belong to a community. We all want to reduce our impact on the planet.

A not-for-profit organisation that provides apartments that are socially, financially and environmentally sustainable. This seems to be too-good-to-be-true (or scalable) within a North American context given our society's age-old ill for gravitating toward private property ownership.

Still, one can only dream that models for development such as the one Nightingale Housing is making an honest go of in Austraila will become more commonplace in North America.
