If everyone invested in the neighborhood they lived in, the United States would be a magical place.

Visually, I love the setting of suburbia.

Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, and I love that. It's cool to have different foods from all over the world within a stone's throw of my house.

I like the fact that Austin's the first place I've ever lived where there's a real sense of community. People care about their neighbors.

I love seeing America vote, through the prism of my older working class neighborhood in Riverside, California.

I was really lucky to grow up in an extremely diverse neighborhood.

I think there are two prevailing views of the suburbs in the States: either they're this sort of tedious place, where everyone is the same, buys the same food and drives around in their little minivans, or the view is that the suburbs are extremely perverse in a humorous way.

Sometimes when you're relegated to your neighborhood, you forget that there's more important things than your neighborhood going on out in the world.

I grew up in a small town that was absolutely a perfect embodiment of new urbanism.

Neighborhoods change. In some ways, it's part of the beauty of New York City. It's in a constant state of flux.
