If I were King, Baltimore

This isn't the whole thing, but here are some things I would do quickly..

Demilitarize the cops, all policing done on foot.  Police force must look just like the community.  Instead of Andy and Barney I would find Maurice and Anthony, it would be cousins, brothers, fathers, sons of the community...


If the same person is arrested over and over they are identified but not jailed for non violent behavior. It must become a shaming and a stigma.  People need to know who the bad guys are in the community but not jail.


Justice system changes to carry the bulk of the burden of proof.  If you can't charge someone with a crime in 24 hours.. they get out free.

All non violent (like parole, child support and such) inmates released at once and pay companies a bonus to hire the ex con.  Some cops earlier mentioned come from these ranks.

No minimum wage in the community. None.  Right to work for all.

Make the areas in question full on tax incentive and regulation free.  Drive people to start businesses there.  Make it irresistible.

Reduce the support payment complex.  Children to 18 get a stipend.  Vouchers only for education.  Housing is voucher driven and it pays well. No snap cards.  All food support comes thru the stipend for children only.  The education and housing vouchers are only good in affected areas.

Shark Tank like examination of every single entrepreneurial idea from the community. No government money.  BUT those sharks who invest get some protection.. decrease the risk aversion.  Double pay back if it works.

Street security privatized.  As in eastern europe and Latin America. Armed guards outside every store.

Reinstate the death penalty and use it for those who are seriously criminal.  Empty the prisons, execute or release.

Housing and care for the elderly in spades.  Once you reach a certain age.. 70, everything is easier.

No big box or corporate entities.  They will have to travel outside to shop them.

Health Care is Medicare part ALL.. IF you live and work in the community and behave yourself.. you are essentially on medicare.

Make the community a regulation and zoning free zone.  If you decide to start a business, you simply hand out a shingle and you're in.
 
We must drive hard to make the communities a worthy place to live and work.  Many jobs are for keeping the place looking sharp, clean and in good repair.

The church must play a HUGE part of this but without money from government.

Clean up corrupt music, film, speech and language.  Make it a crime with sanctions (financial) and never government support for perversion.
