Yes. But it is difficult. Of all the things that you mention, what I have been part of is a school talking with parents...because there is a place. There isn't much interaction with "local kids" apart from car pooling with a select few. Neighbour interaction is so-so. Modern life.

Sure, I was on them myself. The spirit on the second one was already down compared to the first. The barrier is known but the voters need to overcome it. There is a host of examples around the world they can learn from, even in the recent past.
