Scenario

When community organizing reveals deeper conflicts about neighborhood identity

Our neighborhood group started meeting about traffic safety but it's become clear that we have completely different visions of what this community should be - some people want to preserve the quiet residential character and others want more density and businesses. Every discussion about bike lanes or parking turns into a proxy war about gentrification and change that we're not having directly.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

People who thought they shared a simple goal discover they have fundamentally different visions for their shared space.
