I believe neighborhoods should commonly have community centers. These are places where members of a community can: gather, teach others how to do things, build relationships, create things together, and overall have a place to hang out when there is nothing to do at home. These can be local cultural centers to get to know the community, network, and create plans and goals. These centers can also have urban farms, places to make art, and activities to bring community members together. Overall, it’s getting back to the roots of what makes a society.
In addition, community centers in urban districts can also be a place to help the homeless. Most homeless don’t want to work, many like their lifestyle of being on the street, and many cannot be helped. There are some that do not want to be homeless and are looking for ways to get back on their feet. Along with neighborhood community centers, I also want to propose the idea to have a homeless community centers in major urban areas where the homeless can be taught meaningful skills, learn to make things they can sell, make art, and participate in urban gardening, and be allowed to have tiny homes in a non-drug, safe, and non-harmful substance zone (sign a terms of conditions for being there to be peaceful and to get help to get back on their feet).
