Center our attention around the Individual, the Neighborhood, and the Municipality
The individual needs to access community organizations they are interested in from central location, like a neighborhood grade school, and I mean Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts serving the needs of the individual, and family units.
The Neighborhood needs a place to gather and share their knowledge and experiences, and shared values not conflicting views, and opinion. Like a neighborhood, K-8,school, where they can attend classes for personal growth, learning individual skills, gather to discuss common issues of the neighborhood, not conflicting ones.
The community needs a gathering place for events, games, and concerts to learn about each other, planned around common interests, mix, and compete, like a high school, where we can experence ROTC, recreation, and evening classes for CPR, First Aid, etc.
Oregon is currently dependent on a top down political environment that dictates behavior, rather than a political system that accommodates stated need from inclusive neighborhood groups.
Our current political attitude toward the individual needs to change and the neighborhoods need to revolve around the grade school, K-8, for gathering, and High Schools for community (multiple neighborhoods) meetings and events.
