Is it a favourite park or walking track? The library? Do you have a really fun festival that your community is known for? Tells us about it!

I live in a shithole city in the desert with high crime rates (my home has been broken into twice in 4 years (while I was home)) but my favorite thing about it is the natural environment. Very beautiful place. I hope we get more social programs to better the community, but where I live, all of the money goes to like 10 square miles in the city center and everyone else is left to rot in an over-policed, car-centered, 40km sprawl.

That's really hard. I hope you can muster up some support from other locals and make some changes!

Sadly everyone where I live seems to be socially conservative if they're over the age of 25 so I'm just working on doing some good old AEO on peers.
