Missing the Problem of Scale

Can't talk about community values if there's no community. Compounding that error is the lack of a common thick culture to mass population centers. Camden's example has been discussed in connection with law enforcement reform but I think the author of the essay has a rather simplistic take on it. What would the demographics of the zip code of the author's residence reveal about his perspective?

It's never wrong to rethink systems that don't represent the values of the communities they serve. That's as true of police departments as it is of street and city design—and remembering that fact will help us build stronger, safer places.https://t.co/HWLsSV1O9d pic.twitter.com/hJfSM54bwj
