Community
Community is the people around you—relationships that support, trade, share, and solve problems together.
Why It Matters
No household operates alone. When things get harder, people lean on those around them.
How It Works
Community is built through trust, proximity, and having things in common. Most people don’t invest in it until they need it.
Where It Breaks
Isolation. Lack of trust. No prior connection.
People end up relying on organizations that don’t know them, instead of the people around them.
Capability Layers
- Short: Knowing neighbors, basic interaction
- Medium: Shared resources, mutual support
- Long: Strong local networks, coordinated problem solving
