The Point

Communities need to control their economies, and their own neighborhoods. Classically, the tools for this have been: 1) Community Development Corporations (CDCs) to improve the local environment and economy in the commmunity, and give it more political sovereignty; 2) Community Land Trusts, to hold, and preserve, the purpose and quality of places; and 3) what are now called Community Bonds, where a group of community members act as guarantors for loans by the rest of the community, to accomplish community-driven goals.
