If I ran the city of newark I'd try and make everything as fair as possible and I would acknowledge everyone's rights not just people I feel  should should be treated with respect because we all are human and nobody is better than anyone else, we all bleed the same blood. And if I were to run newark I'd like to help out with health care and help homeless people and help the city stay clean.

To be honest, I would immediately make changes to where and how the budget of this city is spent. In the recent years, I have seen things being built more so for middle to upper class. New complexes, with rent that is $1,200 and above, shopping centers, and the overall gentrification of downtown Newark. I may not be that deep into politics, but I feel that the working class of Newark is slowing being disregarded more and more as the years go by. So, I would do my best to help those who essentially put this city on their back with each and every day they work.

If  I ran for the city of Newark, I would  stop racism and police brutality. Some people are getting treated unfairly based on their skin color and I think it really unfair. Police Brutality will have to stop because most people of color are getting beaten and killed even if they did nothing wrong. We need to unity and make the world a better place.

If Newark was ran by youth, I would ensure that the city environment can support good education. In order to that, I would clear up all the abandoned buildings to ensure that unwanted activities are not done near or surrounding educational centers. Removing abandoned building will also potentially lesson criminal activity and it would not be so easy for youths to join those groups because they do not linger in their environment.
This adjustment would allow more youths to focus on school because they are the future of Newark.

If I ran the city of Newark I would focus on the impoverished families and young people. I would instill more programs that provided free education and volunteer hours for future college students. I would personally spend my time visiting each school and talk to students. There would be more scholarships for those who are very talented. I would create a world of opportunity.

If I ran the city of Newark I would change the living situations for kids. In Newark there are a lot of kids that don't live in a proper home. This affects them because they have no place to sleep, no place wash up and no place to eat. I want there to be a place where kids can go to, to eat , sleep, and wash up at. I know that Parents have a hard time making a home so I want to make it easy for them. PS: These houses is not just for kids but families too.

if the city of Newark was ran by the youth , I would try to help everyone that I can. I would start off by getting all of the homeless off the street and into some kind of housing. That housing could also help them get their lives back on track. Another thing I would do is make housing affordable for everyone because rent in Newark is really expensive even in bad neighborhoods. Lastly I would open up a youth center in order to let kids have a "place away from home"  that can help mentally , socially etc.

If Newark was controlled by the millennials, I feel like it would be disorganized and a calamity. I believe that today's children's priorities are messed up, so they do things to fit in. People do stuff like steal motorcycles and some other things. The violence that erupts in the city is something I would change if Only I could. To be honest i think if any kids really ran Newark i think they would make it worse then it is by adding laws that are nonsense. I feel like they would also benefit from the change while others do not and that not what that community needs.

If I ran the city of Newark I would make sure that it is kept clean. If you walk around Newark there's a lot of garbage on the ground. We should place garbage cans and recycling bins at the end of every other block so people would have no choice but to throw out their garbage. We should also dedicate a day (at the end of every month) to pick up any garbage on the ground that doesn't get thrown away.

If I ran the  city I would want too make better housing that's not expensive because I know that housing can be expensive so I would want housing too be a little cheaper since people lost their jobs during this time and its hard too pay for their place.- Mayah Durham

If Newark was ran by the youth, I feel like it would be chaotic and a disaster. I feel like kids priorities nowadays are messed up and they do things to fit in. People do things such as stealing cars and etc. If I were to change something it would be the violence that erupts in the city.A elderly women just got killed due to a drive-by on her birthday and I feel like if people come to a peace without violence, her life wouldn't have been taken away from her.- Jaylyn Odom

I would make housing more affordable because in Newark we see that most blacks can't really afford housing so they don't have no choice but to live in shelters, or in their cars.

I would definitely focus on the parts of the city that are not well developed yet. I would say, parts where you see people on the floor and not deciding a well being for themselves and disrupting the city’s view. I would create various buildings just for those individuals and help them manage their lives better.

If I ran the City Of Newark I'll try my hardest to Give everyone opportunities whether if its finiciall, mentally or physically. I'll also get rid of as many Fast Food Restaurants As Possible and put more healthy foods out there. I'll also open up more gyms to keep kids out of the streets.

I would change some of the policies like where our tax dollars go to. And make sure they go to something important like into our schools. I would get a group of people and maybe the whole city to help me clean the neighborhoods. I would start making plans on how to change the environment and replace the corner stores with grocery stores or at least build a grocery store much closer to our neighborhoods. I would do mental/physical check ins on everyone in the city making sure they are okay.

I would focus on keeping the city clean by creating spaces for the people that are most of the time disrupting the view of the city. Some people are on the floor and not having anywhere to sleep therefore I would create buildings for those people so the city's tourism is not affected.

If I ran the City Of Newark, I would try to make houses more affordable just because of the simple fact that most blacks tend to be 10x more homeless because they can't afford a place to stay. This leads to my next subject, if I ran the city of Newark I would make it my job to make sure that almost every citizen has a job and can get a job. I would do this because as I stated, some people can't afford a house, so having a job would at least benefit the people, get them on their feet, and money in their pockets.

# data[].attributes.body
If I ran the city I would try to have 0 percent homelessness. Also I want want higher minimum wage in order to stop poverty through the city. I will create more buildings for higher paying jobs and for people to have more opurtunuty to live.Lastly I would make sure to city and clean and make our city a place that catches the eye.

well what i would do first is focus on the city and help the homeless , maybe give them the job to keep the streets cleaned , make sure that they dont do anything to want to harm themslelves and keep them overlooked in a shelter . apart from that i want to put more parks and more activites so that way people around the communities can feel more united , and have more stuff to be apart of

I would try an help to make sure that everyone has everything that is a need such as food and household essentials i would also go around and make sure children are given fair opportunities at an good education and are being motivated to go to school because a better future starts with a better youth -akim

If I ran the city of Newark I would start with homelessness. There's plenty of buildings that are empty or broken down. If they were to be built up again, they could be used for people who have no homes and who have nowhere to go, instead of being built into overly priced condos for people who come here from New York. I would also try to make disability checks larger. There are plenty of people who have health problems and yet they are left on the street to fend for themselves. - Aniya Redmon

I would fix up burn down homes that haven't been touch in ages. I would also take down the health health issues that are built into our homes like lead walls. I wanna fix our education system as well, since the majority of the lessons that we get taught are things that aren't as useful to most of us later on; not every student wants to do the same thing for their career path. They are going to be an adult soon too, why not teach them on how to rent/buy a home? how to pay taxes? How to look for jobs? Prepare us for OUR future, not the future you expect from the youth.

I would change police brutality. I would want to change police brutality because I do not think its fair that people  are getting hurt for things they did not do ... Especially innocent people . People are getting shot dead and getting arrested for no reason. Sometimes I think that the cops just want to mess with people and they did nothing. For Example: A black person could be walking to their car and the cops would just  put a gu to their head and tell them to get down o the ground for no reason and then when they get offended they pull the triger.

If the I  ran the city of Newark I would change the way that people in the LGBTQ community are treated because love has no gender and its not right that some people believe that your not allowed to love people who are the same gender as you are. I know that for a long time it has been a normal thing for people to only date the opposite gender but people  should be able to accept the change.  ~Aria B.

If i ran the city of newak i would change the school system. I would change this because I feel like the educational system causes a lot of problems for kids, especially for teens. Most teens find school depressing and stressful, and it sometimes causes suicide too. If we would’ve changed the system it could make the way how most kids feel about school and actually be happy to go there.

I have come to feel that income-based housing and making more jobs in Newark should be a priority. income-based housing would help people by giving them housing they could afford instead of searching through houses that would be hard to get or pay for; and to have a back-up plan to help residents find jobs if they happen to lose theirs. by opening up housing of any sort you would need to have some type of maintenance crew to make sure everything is working and especially to insure that hallwasy stay clean and in order througout the lobby there will need to be a cleaning crew. through all of that there should also be both a self-served laundry service but one where you can pay someone to do it for you; it will both increase jobs and help people prioritize
