From the President....There is a certain efficiency to a neighborhood. Let me explain. In economics there is a classic theory that when a lot of information is made available about a thing, people have an easier time seeing that thing’s value. In that way, the beauty of a neighborhood association can be thought of as the opportunity to get together with people who know our neighborhood intimately and explore just how precious the community we share is. Whether you find that beauty in the deep roots of the people who love Southampton and call it home, the unique local businesses, the walkability, the local flora and fauna or the variety of architecture, I find that, even after living in Southampton for 8 years, there are always new details to find and appreciate! Whether you’ve lived here for decades or are just getting to know Southampton, I extend a sincere invitation to you to take part in our neighborhood’s association, share what makes this neighborhood special to you, and engage in the civic exercise that makes a neighborhood efficient and wonderful!
