When Safety Becomes a Luxury We Can’t Afford
In Greensboro, safety should never feel like a luxury—it should be part of everyday life. Families deserve neighborhoods where children can play freely, where parents can relax over a backyard cookout with friends, and where trust in our police is built on presence and partnership. When communities feel safe, they thrive. Strong relationships between neighbors and law enforcement, combined with consistent attention to public safety, create the kind of environment where families want to stay, grow, and invest in their future.
Reid Phillips: The case for open spaces
Recently, my neighbors and I were labeled as “NIMBYs” for opposing the rezoning of property at the entrance to our community, New Irving Park in Greensboro. While developers argue that in-fill projects enhance the tax base and maximize land use, I urge you to consider the true cost of sacrificing our green spaces. These areas are vital for our well-being, improving air quality and providing a calming environment. As we face the push for more development, it’s crucial to ask: should every patch of land be built upon? Join me in advocating for the preservation of Greensboro’s green spaces.
