I like that this article gives hearty mention to community in its role in happiness. The topic of community is often neglected here in the United States, where there's a strong individual ethic. But the community in which a person lives and the communities a person is connected into have such a huge influence on all aspects of our lives.
You mention community spaces for for family activities and exercise, and these are really important. For younger people, having nearby businesses or public spaces for socializing can also be really important.
I recently wrote about the importance of neighborhood and community gathering. I think that these spaces can not only improve your quality of life directly, but they can lead you to become more connected to others in your community, which can have benefits both in terms of your social life and your business, financial health, and career.
