We could use a little clean up in a lot of communities and in our neighborhoods. I'm not talking about trash laying around. We could use more patrolling, more activism, and more programs within our communities. It will create a better society. Youth would have more to do. They have to be occupied. Occupied with positivity. There's way too much crime and youth violence. The more we stand. The less nonsense we'll see.

I agree, we do need more for the youth to do so they stay off the streets and don't get into as much trouble.

That's correct. They need our help and more should be done.

These are good proposals! They will also foster youth empowerment.

as long as the patrols don't get too authoritarian and start spoiling otherwise harmless fun

That's why we put our tax dollars to work and have the people collecting welfare and unemployment working towards community service hours being the ones that take that effort. Those that are hard workers might just prove valuable to someone willing to hire them. You don't get hired by sitting at home doing nothing!

Not everyone who's at home is doing nothing. A lot of people have home offices, businesses, and are self employed. We just have to put the most qualified into office.

@OneOfMany understood. That's a start.

@Teep11 You missed the point of my statement. I'm talking about those collecting welfare and unemployment compensation. I'm sure they are doing more than sitting around, but getting them into the public eye would be a good step towards bettering the community and themselves.

yes you are right we must have to do it as we have to live there so why not do clean it so we not become ill and we get fresh air,but some people not doing that as they think if no one do then why i should do so they think negative with others so its really nice sharing of your thoughts...

Sure we could use a lot more of a lot these services but, they all cost money. We have to pick and choose. Can't have it all. Volunteers might be nice.

@Teep11 ....That would be smart. You're welcome.

Of course we can't have it all but a lot of the time the money is spent on things we could do without so why not put the money where it will be most beneficial. Thank you for supplying your opinion.

I think we need more than a little patrolling and activism, we need a little more control by the people. Our representative democracy is currently in quite a state.

Yes indeed, We just have to believe that the changes that are needed will occur. We can't control what others do but we can do something about ourselves and hopefully others will take heed.

@Teep11 The point is we do have to convince others.

Me and my son were almost shot by a drive by just walking to the store. Damn I was thinking if something would happen how would anyone know.

Thank God that nothing happened to you and your son. That's very unsettling. I pray for protection for you and your family. Be safe and stay blessed.

Actions speak louder than words. What would be your number one start? Can you organize your neighbors to support your actions?
