I also totally agree with hedmekanik, it definitely starts with the individual. I dont think community gatherings ever go further than neighbourhood watch meetings (if you even get those anymore). How do we tackle this though? I mean, its all good to have a positive attitude about it, but most people will just wake up tomorrow and carry on as normal. I think government should step in and host a "community growth campaign", you know, like the whole LoveLife thing. Maybe just pop in a public awareness message on the radio or TV once in a while, taking up some of that damned advertising space with a message, without intention of making money. Its very possible.
