If you buy it, live in it- no more commodification of homes.
-
zero tolerance driving policies that prioritize pedestrians and cyclists and blatantly discourage driving.
-
safe supply. Anything that was going to be disposed of in police evidence is to be tested and used to start the program. Can’t get people to a place where they want to be treated if they’re dead.
-
-
Property and income tax funded high speed internet available to all persons and businesses in city limits free of charge. Also, power, water, waste management, and any licensing and registration fees are all eliminated and they get funded by property and income taxes instead (also fees for public copiers at court houses, libraries, etc).
-
Sleeping in public is legal, sleeping in parked cars is legal, cars can’t be towed from the parking lots of businesses outside of the businesses’ operating hours, and no person can be denied use of a public bathroom (regardless of whether or not they purchased anything).
-
All businesses and public buildings will be made handicap accessible through city funded grants and fines for non compliant property owners, and rental property owners will be required to make any accessibility modifications a tenant might require.
-
A perpetual levy to keep the schools funded, and it floats with CPI or some other index to remain relevant.
- Term Limits (Goodbye family-connected people who haven’t done shit in 20 years)
- Church Is Now a Library (Goodbye assholes who expelled my friend’s fiance for cohabitation, while the minister cohabitated with his girlfriend)
- Anticorruption (Certain people on the council rent their properties/sell things to the town at “market rates”)
Free public transport, buildings/residences incur additional council rates when sitting empty, better permitting system for food trucks on public property.
No income properties for single family homes. Punishable by jail.
Companies will now have their minimum pay decided by majority vote for up to 70% of the previous year’s profit divided by the number of people employed and companies are decommissioned when they’re found to exploit people in large scale.
People have to give me specifically a blowjob on request. I mean universal basic income. That.
Is this lah lah land where I can pass any law I want locally without it being superseded by state or fed? Then
1.recreational pot is now legal with 32 plant homegrow limit
-
Psylocibin mushrooms are now legal and can be sold wherever alcohol, tobacco, and weed are sold including state run stores
-
HOAs are outlawed, you can now do whatever the fuck you like with your own properties and not pay yet another yearly fee to an at-best-incompentent-at-worst-malicious burocracy. I have to deal with enough of those already
-
- Ban cars
- Legalize drugs
- Basic income for unhoused and impoverished funded by said drug taxes
Umm I don’t think a municipality can superscede state and federal law.
So maybe you could ban cars, with the exception of state vehicles.
Naturalized Landscapes: Reduce budget by naturalizing all public landscapes, alter “unkempt yard” qualifications, incentivize against lawns.
Smart Density Overhaul: Destroy developer’s abilities to build detached home subdivisions, build public homes that are integrated with landscapes and require less upkeep from homeowners, maximize leisure and the things that actually make people happy, roads are… not what they currently are. Subsidize rural taxi service.
Industry Perks: Tax incentives for industrial employers relative to employee’s salaries. Similar remote work incentives for professional-managerial employers. A study on commercial office use will be conducted to determine how to best move in to new work arrangements.
Winner winner chick fucking en dinner right here
Phase in a ban on consumer grade gas powered outdoor equipment. Electric only.
Revise residential parking to allow more in line with densification.
Crack down on negligent property owners that let properties get run down. Especially developers that let properties sit,.and most especially with houses that just get boarded up and the property goes to hell.
- Term limits, the same 3 families have been running my town for 40 years.
- a bypass, we’re a very small town with a huge tourist industry, and the township refuses to approve a bypass because it would divert traffic away from the tourist trap, regardless of the fact that it takes half an hour to cross a town with a single traffic light.
- investment of the tax money into the community. Again, we have a huge tourist industry and a shit ton of money comes into town from it, yet our roads are absolutely terrible, half the town doesn’t have sidewalks, and honestly I don’t know where any of the money goes.
-
Make all local utilities city-owned (including internet access as a utility).
-
Make all city employees part of a municipal employees union (opt-out available)
-
Require all legal judgments against the police department to be paid out of their pension fund.
-
Mandate funding of public transportation at a level that makes it easier to use than a car.
Make roads (all roads that are already built) available for that transit, any existing road can become a trolley line or train.
Set the footprint of the county where it is, already there is too much sprawl so no more expansion allowed, build where there are buildings only, all green space preserved, fund to buy back land for parks when density increases, and once “greened”, no longer available to build on.
That last item is, combined with all the other things like it, the source of the housing crisis in this country.
Where I am we need density to increase in the populated areas, not to pave out the rest of the county, The plants and animals need space too.
You should post a federal version of this question after this post calms down.

I’m interested to hear the story behind no idling automobiles

Also idling cars are massive targets for thieves.

Nothing against you, but as someone from the rural southwest, I cannot see any level of compatibility between your gripes and rural life. It’s like some from NYC complaining about too many people around.

The current laws aren’t really enforced so none
The genie will also make sure the laws are enforced. What is your legislative wish?
