Nothing about what you’re suggesting now needs a blockchain and having local money doesn’t prevent outside influence just changes how it is spent. People will just spend it on those that hold local money or have influence over those that do. You’re trying to passively solve a complex, hierarchical social problem with technology when we know that’s bound to fail or at best paper over the cracks.
And yeah there are lots of places that local government sucks but there are also lots of places where it doesn’t and I guarantee you the reason isn’t tech.

Whether they can scratch the itch in peer-to-peer mode is an unanswered question, but I think we'll get to find out.
