Thank you for the informative post, this is inspiring to read as a fellow New Yorker in the younger demographic. I might apply to my community board in the future. Best of luck!
Great post, Sebastian! Super informative and inspiring for how citizens can be involved in local politics.
I hear you on factions... I wrote a post a couple months ago on the conflict on my community board that included some people quitting, others getting fired, and news articles about shady financial dealings.
I read this with interest - Mobilization of collective effort to attain and apply leverage for systemic change is one of my main areas of concern. I wonder if in cases that are particularly divisive and controversial, someone like you might make use of a temporarily anonymous "assurance contract" framework in order to reveal people's true preferences and find consensus positions. That's what i'm trying to enable with a project called Spartacus.app. If you're interested in how it might help you, let me know.
Nice post! It’s cool to read about your experiences.
Congrats on the appointment and the early progress!
