MODERATORS
only problem with this is if a group gets into control that essentially wants to extract and skate. Or manipulating things into little fiefdoms. I sorta agree as much as possible should be decided at the local level. carry guns and sale of alcohol come to mind but there has to be national level rights and regulation. Like owning a gun or alcohol in your home or not dumping poisons into waterways.
extract from whom? Themselves?
I would hope it's obvious i'm not talking about giving neighbourhoods absolute control over themselves, i'm explicitly only talking about clearly local matters like "what do we want our streets to look like" or "we have a neglected property, should we come together and buy it out so we can turn it into a lovely park instead?".
I'm also specifically talking about not having the same governance structure as existing politics, instead treating it more like associations where everyone can attend the big meetings and directly vote on things.
yeah extracting and moving on to become a local member of another place. people move and think of like carpet baggers who really live somewhere else but meet the requirments to vote in another place.
