I don’t want to get out of the hood, I want to make it so that it’s favorable to the people who already live there.
True safety is:
- Having housing security
- Full healthcare
- Free education
- Healthy food
- Mass public transit
- Owning their workplace and running it democratically
- Natural areas for leisure
It’s not a matter of if we want it. We do. It’s changing the system so that we CAN have it without being exploited.

I hope we can get there. We could be doing it right now but the people in office can’t and won’t vote against making themselves rich.
I think they greatly overestimate what people not in the hood have? Most of those points are still not guaranteed for most people, no matter where they live, sadly.
That co-op employer idea is a bit much. I’d settle for either:
- Strong unions
- Job mobility and competition for employees
A bit biased because my job and location has usually meant easy mobility and demand for people like me. Employers have to treat me well because I have so many other easy choices
