Social media ID cuts both ways. Fascists would be the ones willing to use it to fuck people.
There was a guy in DC that got roasted, fined an entire apartment building because he found a single can in the trash stream. I like the idea, but there's a lot of power in that inspector postion.
I like it, we also need to super prop up the people that get out. Strong programs to keep them employed and fed and a support net to keep them from dropping back through the cracks. Most would be willing to work and become productive but the system is designed to reclaim them.
That's fine if you never want to leave the city. A cheap driveshare program dedicated to city users with easy access from the subway would probably be needed. Also the subway is somewhat more unreliable than I'd like to see that pass.
That's another hard one. If the local government owns it, if the right gets in again, they could just destroy the poor. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have some working social systems, but building a utopia probably can't start in the middle of NYC. We'd need to go disney style and put in something semi rural as a testing ground.
Youre takes are valid from a good governance perspective - dont grant power you dont want used against you.
This isnt necessarily about good governance though, its "we have the power, now lets govern such that conservatives that have lived here for decades hate it so much they sell their property and leave".
I wouldn't feel bad if that happened but it kind of feels like that's what they're trying to do to us and it's not really working.
