 It really is :) I would advise that if you switch away from the home view
 (to neighborhood, or into another activity) one isn't automatically
 switched inside when the new activity finally loads.

 Imagine this use-case:

  1. You go to the journal, and resume a past activity
  2. View switches to home view, you switch back to journal, to the
 neighborhood view, etc.
  3. You are in the middle of using the Journal, checking who's around, and
 you are switched to the other activity when it finished loading

 Basically, this creates two interruptions on the user flow.
