Constitutional integrityQ 13
Should city meetings offer a remote public-comment line so more people can speak?
Night meetings at city hall favor people with cars, childcare, and daytime jobs they can leave. Remote comment widens the room — and has to be moderated against spam.

Public safetyQ 10
Should 911 mental-health calls go to clinicians first, not armed officers?
Most crisis calls are not violent. A clinician-led response can avoid force — and needs a backup plan for the calls that turn dangerous.

Public safetyQ 07
Should residential streets near schools and parks be capped at 20 mph?
Speed is the main predictor of whether a child survives a collision. Lower limits only work if they are designed in — with bumps, narrowings, or cameras — not just a new sign.

HealthcareQ 05
Should grocery stores over a certain size have to accept SNAP for hot prepared food?
People using food assistance can buy a cold sandwich but not a hot one. Changing the rule is local policy in some cities and a dignity issue in every checkout line.

EducationQ 03
Should middle and high schools start no earlier than 8:30 a.m.?
Sleep research is unusually clear for teenagers. Later bells mean bus-route changes and after-school job and sports schedules have to move with them.

GovernmentQ 14
Should vacant downtown storefronts pay a higher tax after 18 months empty?
Empty first floors drag down a block. A vacancy tax pushes landlords to lease or sell, and can also push them to board up rather than try a risky tenant.

EconomyQ 01
Should a share of every new apartment building stay below market rent for 30 years?
Cities keep approving housing that most local workers cannot afford. A set-aside would lock in mixed-income buildings without waiting on a new federal program.

EconomyQ 02
Should accessory dwelling units be allowed by right on every residential lot?
Granny flats and backyard cottages add homes without changing a neighborhood's scale. Some neighbors worry about parking and short-term rentals.

HealthcareQ 04
Should the city fund a mental-health walk-in clinic in every district?
Emergency rooms and jail bookings are the current default. Neighborhood clinics cost money up front and can cut those later bills if people actually use them.

Public safetyQ 06
Should every road rebuild include a protected bike lane on at least one side?
Restriping is cheapest when the asphalt is already open. The tradeoff is a travel lane or parking in tight corridors.

EconomyQ 08
Should city contracts prefer companies that offer paid sick leave?
Public money already buys trash pickup, road work, and catering. Tying awards to sick leave raises bid prices and covers the people who cannot work from home.

EconomyQ 09
Should the local minimum wage be indexed to the cost of a modest two-bedroom?
A wage floor that tracks rent would rise automatically. Employers warn it would shrink hours; workers say the current floor already lags housing.

GovernmentQ 11
Should new roofs on city buildings and large private builds be required to be solar-ready?
Conduit, orientation, and load ratings are cheap on day one and expensive to retrofit. A mandate would not install panels; it would stop wasting the roof.

GovernmentQ 12
Should every public tree removed for development be replaced two-for-one in the same neighborhood?
Tree canopy is uneven by zip code. Replacement rules only work if the new trees are funded, watered, and not shoved onto a leftover strip of dirt.
