The one thing I'd change about "my" neighborhood would be to try to bring some street level retail back into it. The urban fabric developed in the early 1800s (some buildings are from the 1700s; my duplex is from the 1830s which isn't that uncommon for the area) is relatively intact but it's strange that you need a car to live there - totally un-walkable.
A couple generations ago, I'm sure you could find anything you wanted right in the neighborhood - restaurants, hardware stores, clothing, etc.
Nowadays you have to drive to the big box shops (closest being the big mall on Route 132) for all of that.

edit - for example, it's crystal clear that all three of the buildings you see in that view (two on your left, one on your right) used to have commercial retail at street level. Now it's all residential.
