They destroyed Community Boards which once held that power. Young voters have no idea how quickly they destroyed the power of community.

EDCs are the governing body, not the mayor, not the commissioners. The young need to wake up and take the power back before it’s 100% gone!

Community boards never spoke for the community. They speak for a very small subset of older, more conservative, folks (usually white, usually car owners) who vote in each other and do nothing but try to stop younger people from changing communities in even the smallest ways. They are one of the worst things the city could have thought up to speak for communities. Make them elected positions or dissolve them already.
