I started a campaign in my city to amend legislation to allow hens. We are getting SO much push back.
I bring my family on walks, city cleanups, I organized a planter contest to beautify our main drag. It seems like instead of getting on board, many complain.
If you ask me, one of the biggest issues all cities face are zoning laws. No one wants to live next door to a gas station, but small, walkable economies that allow bakeries, shops, and family owned diners in largely residential areas would do so much for the walkability and the "destination". So much of our cities and towns are taken up by parking lots and gas stations, oil change services, and banks. There is so little to actually do and do few people to go out and meet.
To top that off, the "hustle culture" leaves so little of our time to "us" that it's hard to take advantage of small local businesses because their open hours conflict with normal working hours. It's a lose lose. This is something that makes me feel doomed more frequently than it has a right to.
