The character and quality of people are in a large measure the result of the home environment. The home and its intrinsic influences are the very foundation of good citizenship and any factor contributing to the establishment of homes and the fostering of home life doubtless tends to the enhancement, not only of community life, but of the life of the nation as a whole.

The zoning of the Village for mixed, but primarily residential, use ensures the development and strengthening of neighborhoods where residents can walk to shopping, worship and work. It also offers inducements not only to the wealthy, but also to those of moderate means to conduct their own businesses and own their own homes. With ownership comes stability, the welding together of family ties and better attention to the rearing of children. With ownership comes increased interest in the promotion of public agencies, which have for their purpose a desired development of the moral and mental make-up of the citizenry of the country. With ownership of one's home comes recognition of the individual's responsibility for his share in the safeguarding of public welfare of the community. The pride in achievement that derives from personal participation in the activities of the neighborhood ensures continuous community betterment.
