Values, Attitudes, and Norms
Interview with Lisha Pompili-Baumiller (Hubbard City Council Chairmen of Economic Development & President of Hubbard Cemetery), "Hubbard is a community of longtime family business and family's generation after generation lives in town homes are passed down, people care about each other, our city council works hard to keep taxes low and provide many free services to our homeowners, we has a state of the art bran new high school a community that follows their football team and band religiously, we still have Santa Claus coming to town parades, people in town look out for each other; crime rate is low; on any given evening you see people walking their dogs, kids, jogging, feeling care free and safe. I have seen a whole community join forces to save a life, restore a church, or feed a family. You can stop for directions to at any individuals home and get exact directions. We are like cheers where everybody knows your name!"
