0. TL;DR VERSION

• The Objective for this document is to ensure the Cityview Community is built on a foundation of respectful communication;

• It is the Responsibility of every member or individually resolve with other members to conduct themselves respectfully at all times, using informal communications means to individually resolve disputes and issues with other residents;
