Relating to the "community"

As the Chapel Hill Town Council moves into the mode of developer for Obey Creek, I think it needs to step back and assess the entire "community" defined by a circle with a radius of 2 miles out from Obey Creek. For example, I think a hard look at the successes and failures (like underutilization of facilities) of the Southern Community Park needs to be high on the list. Southern Village itself needs to be there, including the proposed hotel. These things should not evolve as seeming islands but rather as rough areas within a larger whole. I don't think any discussion of Obey Creek ought to happen without that circled area in front of us all the time.
