I highly recommend everyone interested in local land use to attend planning board meetings regularly. Observe the work your planning board is doing, and if you don't like it, find some way to volunteer or actually be part of the planning board.
This is the only way to make these changes at the local level.
- jklinger410 3y agoThis is why I'm convinced the biggest problem with the 40 hour work week and the capitalist perspective of the American system is actually the lack of time and added stress the system relies on to function. People simply do not want to engage because they either literally don't have time, or are taking that time to prepare for their next shift. An idle society, somewhat more like what the French have (as one example), can be seen as in constant cycles of rebellion. This is the way it should be done. I won't make value judgement on human beings, I will just judge the systems that they must function inside of. And a system that deprives you of time and relaxation is a way to subvert democracy on a very basic level. If we were to repair this issue in the US, it would likely take generations to accomplish.
