Prioritize public safety

What problem would you like to solve?

Safety in general.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

People are being killed and/or injured. It's relevant because individuals are afraid to come out at night and now even during the day. The economy is being impacted.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Increase access to jobs that provide a trust cost of living wage; open youth centers in the afternoon with programs of interest; address drug and mental health issues people are enduring.

Who would that help?

Everyone

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Everyone
