Creating safe and decent places to live is a vital aspect of community development. However, achieving this goal requires a paradigm shift in our thinking.

We need to understand that it's not enough to rely on words and compromises. Instead, we must promote specific behaviors and activities that will bring about the desired change.

If we fail to take bold and forward-thinking steps to address the root causes of the problem, history will judge us harshly. We cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past. It's time to take responsibility and act.

To create safe and decent neighborhoods, we need a clear vision, the right people, and the right plans. It's also essential to have adequate resources and the courage to see the plan through.

By working together and taking a proactive approach, we can make our communities safe and decent places to live. Let's take the first step towards this goal today.
