Very good point. One post I remember very fondly from this list was from a
community where they put out tea and cookies at about the time kids are
coming home from school and from then on people gather in the commonhouse
for a late afternoon break and to welcome people coming home from work. And
to keep the cooks company if they are cooking. It sounded so wonderful.

No latch-key kids, a gathering of low intensity, a warm welcome for
returning wayfarers.
