Resident urges neighbors to introduce themselves to strengthen community ties
During public comment, Resident said, "Find someone who lives in your block who you don't know and introduce yourself." The speaker urged attendees to make that a goal for the coming year, describing the practice as "really important."

The resident framed the suggestion as a practical way to build local supports: "If I've got a problem in my life, I don't have that person as a resource. So get to know the people on your block. It's really useful. It's really helpful. It's what's gonna make our community stronger." The comment closed with, "I know it sounds simple, but sometimes the simplest things are the most important."

The remark was offered as a community appeal rather than a formal proposal or agenda item; no motion or formal action followed. The speaker specified a one-year timeframe for the suggestion and emphasized informal neighbor-to-neighbor introductions as the primary action.
