Years ago, when I worked in Corporate Real Estate, I would take Branch Managers on site selections in their geographic area.  In the smaller cities, one of the manager’s main requirements would be how many traffic lights it would take to get to work!  The New York City team (who commuted one to two hours a day to work) would quietly shake their heads in disbelief.   Sometimes these folks had occupied an office for a number of years, had outdated furniture, no lunch room, a neighborhood with limited shopping.  When shown updated office space with sharp-looking systems furniture and great vistas and malls nearby, they frequently could not resist expressing their enthusiasm.  I reminded them that the more excited they acted, the less meat I could negotiate…

Have you been involved in your community lately?  Have you participated in a civic group, attended a Community Board meeting, volunteered to help beautify your neighborhood, assisted an elderly neighbor bring in his/her trash cans?  Are you interested in adding to your contact list, making new friends, getting out of the house and breathing some fresh air, feeling good about yourself or feeling good about helping others?
