How would you improve your community?
Hooo boy do I have opinions on this. I don’t take this as online community, but rather the material world around me.
Here we go, the cliff notes version:
- Run for political office to better my community by enacting legislations that help rather than hinder
- Make widespread community gardens a thing again, victory garden style if we have to
- Abolish HOAs entirely
- Allow felons the right to vote (didn’t we have a whole goddamned war about taxation without representation??)
- Make homeless shelters more accessible to those that need them
- Plant edible parks
- Protect members of the alphabet crew (LGBTQIA+ peeps)
- Enhance local libraries
- Get local law enforcement proper training for dealing with de-escalation and providing non-lethal responses
- Open more food pantries
So. There we go. That’s a starting point.
My opinion.
