Cool City Challenge

2021-09-01 05:44:00.527855+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Just sat through the pitch for Petaluma's participation in the Cool City Challenge, and... even though it feels like a lot of the things Charlene and I are already doing, I didn't volunteer to be a "block leader". It felt too much like trying to gamify relationships for me to want to sign on to a formal program. But I realized: What we need is like "Tinder, but for civic engagement". Like if someone wanted to be a "block leader" and approached me to participate, I'd say "yes", but I'm not gonna proselytize.

So it's like we both need to swipe right on being good neighbors.
