I got a couple questions for the folks running for office in Richmond about land use. Since many of them ignore me and don’t respond to me specifically - I ask my white contacts to signal boost these questions for me if you want to be an accomplice on some liberation shit
1) How can fair, just and transparent procedures for the sale of city land be development and implemented?
2) How can a developmental strategy be implemented that allows for commonly held land to be entrusted to city residents for beautification, recreation, gardening, environmental stewardship, teaching and generating income?
3) How much land should be sold to any one developer or consortium of developers?
4) What reciprocity should the people of Richmond expect for the sale of land to developers?
5) How do we close the historical gap between wealthy landowners, and the landless?
*** Note these questions are modified from an essay Malik Yakini of the Detroit Black Food Security Network wrote recently - I’m just asking them in Richmond VA - these questions are pertinent no matter where you might be located
