Urban Spaces

This urban farm, housed in a repurposed warehouse, exemplifies how local initiatives can create jobs and revitalize neighborhoods.

I want to go back to this freaking urban farm in Brownsville with a camera crew and show everyone what I saw, because you literally are going through a very tough neighborhood.

Localized Economies

Yang proposes the introduction of localized currencies, dubbed "borough bucks," to support small businesses in New York City. This concept draws inspiration from existing systems where local schools use vouchers to channel funds to nearby businesses. By implementing such a system citywide, Yang aims to stimulate economic activity and help struggling businesses recover.

We need to have new, localized currencies that help flow through small businesses and get them back on their feet.
