Can you make cities better while the nation they’re in is breaking? Or more accurately, being broken?
It’s hard as hell (when is it ever easy), but yes you can.
As a matter of fact, we have to.
Cities and communities, and the leaders in them, are probably still our best hope for a better future.

Improving cities can dampen the discontent that certain national leaders rely on fomenting for support, and today's local leaders will be tomorrow's national ones.
So is the rest of the country
Very few people are unattached to at least some small town where they would benefit from local-level improvements.
We don't have to accept an urban-rural divide that politicians are trying to create.
Fragmenting the country into tribal regions interested only in there own community isn't the answer.
