#it sucks if still works within capitalism but it's the foundations ofh ow these things work without it

My city last year made a bill that allows Community's to have the taxes that is allocated to that area for things like road and light maitance, garbage pick up, and parks etc… the money that typically the city would just give a general budget for the community is now handed over to the community association and voted on by is members (my city also limits a membership at 30$) Than the treasury and community President sets up the work for it. Technically, the bill covers our China town in particular, the Chinese community association is the ppl allocating things, but because it's also the general areas community assoiation it allows any other community group to apply for the same kind of status. I'm bout to buy my membership now that I know I'm not moving, and  it gets me a community plot for 15$ and a pass for the pool nearby the elementary school. They just planted 15 fruit trees in the park last year, they have a public skate rink. Never let anyone make you think engaging in your community is worthless. It's scary sure. but it is worth digging roots into where you live, even if your renting.
