Lack of Social Capitol = Less Volunteers!!
I believe that the lack of social capitol in many locations is coorelated to less people being volunteers. Cities need to enforce in the elements of their General Plan that housing (subburbs) all have nice big front porches so the neighborhood has more of an opportunity to connect with each other. It seems that neighbors nowadays don't have much of a connection and just do their own thing. I think if their was more social capitol, there would be more people willing to volunteer for a particular cause.
This same idea might apply to the everyday work environment. It certainly does not apply to my office. We have a community services task force all dedicated to various volunteering and fund raising efforts. It is soooooo excellent.
