01The perk problem
Wellness stipends disappear in the first round of cuts. Community networks do not.
02Neighborhood infrastructure
Clinics, gyms and gardens are public health infrastructure whether or not they are funded like it.
03Building it anyway
The blocks that organize get served. The ones that wait get studied.
