NEIGHBORHOODS “The construct of the figure of the neighbor is multifaceted. It not only implies material figures such as windows on the street, but embodies conceptions of self, stranger, other, friend, enemy. Intrinsically, the neighbor is an intersubjective mediation between self and the other: one must be one to have one.”

STREETS AS BOUNDARIES Although streets are meant to connect point A to point B in a more efficent manor, the development of these streets has resulted in a series of pedestrian boundaries . One must cross at the alloted space, at the alloted time or just travel in conjuction with traffic. If you chose to disobey these boundaries you could face a fine of about $200.
