Lifestyle Ethics #2: Living In Suburbia


What did you make of Simon Carey Holt’s thoughts on “living in suburbia”, in our Lifestyle Ethics segment this week? (You can listen to the podcast if you missed it!)
He talked about how we Aussies are determined to have our housing estate lifestyle, picket fence and air conditioned car, yet many of us then shut ourselves away in those flashy homes - or spend most of our time driving our cars from one thing to the next - never really connecting with the neighbours.
Simon Carey Holt calls it a “fragmented” life.

• Does this describe you?

• Do you live in your dream home and drive your dream car, yet find you don’t get much chance to really sit down, connect with the neighbours, and enjoy the place you live in?

• Or do you live in an old-fashioned sort of street where the kids still play cul-de-sac cricket, and there’s a lady who cooks fresh-baked bread for all the neighbours?

• Tell us your experience.
