First get the facts straight. Brainstorm all ideas that might help resolve the argument and discuss the pros, cons and consequences. In moving away from confrontation and toward agreement, talk about the issues without insulting or blaming the other person. Don't state your position - that's simply your solution to the problem. After reaching agreement on a plan, decide who will be responsible for specific actions.

Go the extra mile. Answer that urgent phone message from a neighbor who is concerned about crime and safety. Actively listen to recommendations for neighborhood improvements. Be a goodwill ambassador. Extend courtesy, respect, and good will to residents at neighborhood meetings and visitors to your community.
