I would change the amount of drug abuse throughout the street and that community. And how many people are homeless because everybody on the street isnt a drug abuser and some have a bad past. There was this girl and she was a drug abuser and my family used to always talk to her and she got introuduced to drug by her bf she was with and she sadly passed away because of it. And she wasnt originally like that and not everyone wants to be like that but most people when they start they cant finish and their families drop them because of it. I would give them a house, a job and rehab for they can get better.

Honestly I would change how people talk and treat people of different sexuality and different races, I feel like these two are really deep conversations that people are not ready for. There is so many killings and protest going on and i feel its so unnecessary for people to judge people race or sexuality, people say is a sin to like the same gender or to want to change your gender but love is love , and being racist its worst because us blacks get put in jail and killed just for being black, just for shopping, just for walking around a park i could go on and on about these. Also rape is common for young queer kids or young black kids. Rape is such a serious thing and people dont take is serious this is something that hurts my heart so much, men and women use this to ¨fix¨ their child due to them liking what they liked. This is such a deep conversation that needs to be talked about.

If i ran the city i would change gun violence because teens and innocent children and even adults are getting killed for no reason, and families have to go through their loved ones getting harm for just standing on a corner or just walking down the street because of drive-by shootings or just a random person coming up to somebody and rob them at gun point, and in the past year 282, 258 people has been killed by gun violence

If I ran the city of newark i would change how people look at mental health. I would change that because people (mostly kids and teenagers) are killing themselves because of the struggle they have to through with fighting demons in their head, and most parents are not believing their kids when their going through this which put them in worse situation that makes them wanna end their lives. Mental health is not a joke, it can really impact people lives, and others are making it worse. Teenagers are struggling and most are to scared to open up due to being judged and told their doing it for " attention" when they want help dealing with it. Even with women they have to go through stuff that can affect them emotionally and mentally and traumatize them for life but its not just women its people in general.

if i ran the city of newark I think I would focus on fixing the environment. When i drive pass some neighbourhoods in newark i notice how broken and messed up they look the streets are messed up, houses are abandoned and things are just messy. i think we could turn those messed up buildings and houses into homes for people who need them there is so many people on the street that could be in those homes and were not doing anything about it. Newark isn't a bad place but there is things here that we can do to make it better.

If I ran the city of Newark, I would make sure that people in high debt for rent changes by making rent lower. Also, I will want to change the " Holding gun law " because I hear gun shots everyday around my neighborhood so if you're not using a gun for protection then u don't need it.  And  Also people that are homeless will have homes so I don't see people on the street sleeping on the ground.

If I were to run the city of Newark I would change the incidents involving Gun Violence, cyberbullying, and aid people who are less fortunate. So many people have so much hate and think it's acceptable to spread it online. Gun violence is spread through hate also. It's like a tower of hate all leading up to incident that harm people.

If I ran the City of Newark, I would make a building or education system  hardening on Law and Politics. To Put People in the Courts that know what they are doing and are not biased. We need a better state administration. We need to review laws because New Jersey's laws are in good place but laws like no self defense can put away someone who is innocent but people can kill someone and use that excuse. I would push the limits of this law.

If i had an opportunity to run the city of newark I would help homeless people fix their living situations. Make sure they have a place to go to eat , sleep , wash up , and keep them selves together . Because most homeless people give up they turn to drugs and that's what messes them up. This program would help them get back on their feet find a well paying job , and a place to stay where rent isn't so high . They could also do community service helping the community cleaning up , giving to receive. Learning how to be more independent to do all this all on their own.

If I ran the city of newark I would lower the prices for things that are common such as things everyone may want or need. I also wouldn't allow people to live on the streets and have no clothing and food, such as when I said prices would be lower people would be able to purchase what they need. some kids nowadays can't get certain things other kids have because of what their parents have going. I would just normalize the ability for people to get what they want and need for low prices.

To be respectful 100%, kind, loving and of course very welcoming and make life enjoyable. And also gangs unless it's empowering and not killing people but just protecting yourself like self defense and protecting others then that's only acceptable. And I would also like to show and express your true feelings and emotions and let everyone follow their dreams but not in a aggressive way. And always show peace and love to everyone.

If the youth ran the city of newark something I would change would be free healthcare and the money we give to the government for taxes some of the money would go the neighborhood schools we would fix the roads and get shelters for children and families and get homeless off the streets and kids in school also free daycare I would change some of these things because a common reason for people struggling would be their children having nowhere to go during the day so the parents cant go to work which gives them no money we would fix the roads because a lot of accidents happen based on how rough the roads are which leads to spending money on your car and not on your family we would also have shelters because all people deserve a place to stay

I would change the violence and try to make everyone come together, I hate how people try to compare newark to a horrific type of place. Newark can be a good place it's just that a lot of people decide to speak on other people's deads which causes the most drama. Gangs are basically everywhere I can't stop that, but I can always try.

something beautiful, naw lemme stop if the youth ran the city i would help kids who are less fortunate help themselves like if a kid needed a job to help take care of themselves and their families i would help them find a job that can benefit themselves and i would help build more homeless shelters so that everyone could have a home and necessities that they need to live and help raise money for them

make some things legal and other illegal cause some things just make no sense, get shawne out the streets, and everything else is what makes newark newark, gangs i guess can be gone but im just used to everything so this question is not for me, but racism be doin to much especially the white women. Mental illness because people take it as a joke and i decide to laugh it off because i rather not get into depth with it what i did was the past so when someone brings it up i can let myself think so i just laugh it off respectfully.

i would try to lower the rate of cars being stolen in newark and in new jersey as a whole,I would want to change the names that's being said or called by someone because when people in the community use profanity most of the times children feed of the adult and start to think its cool to use vulgar language etc and last but not least i would have more afford housing for people in need that beneficial to their finances

Question:If the youth ran the city of newark what would you change or develop and why? I would change the way people treat homeless people and little kids that can't afford notebooks,textbooks, pencils and other school supplies. Because its sad when you pass by penn station you can see a lot of homeless people sleeping on the street, begging for food to feed their kids and it's sad to watch them be hungry knowing that some people can't eat and starve themselves everyday just to try to feed their kids and put a roof over their heads. And,I also would make a place for kids, teens and adults whereby they can go donate book, notebooks and other school supplies for people who actually need it because not all people have money to afford it.

I would change the trash and the garbage in the streets and in the yards of peoples homes in newark. Also i would try and make newark better with drug safety & help out the homeless who either got hooked onto drugs or were just put in an unfortunate situation. Many housing areas in newark either are dirty, dangerous or just no longer cared for.

The poverty that is going on in the world is so bad because there is alot to rich people is the world not contributing to the people who are in need than just dying and leaving everything behind for people to fight for in court when  they just can help people i feel  like I want to help the people suffering from Poverty very badly because They deserve better food, drink, shelter, jobs, transportation, medical care, supplies.The homeless people can't just get up and get a job, most jobs have standards that they aren't able to reach, like a home, experience, scholarship and sometimes, even, a car
