That hub had all sorts of services available - multiple restaurants, plenty of businesses, two grocery stores, a movie theater.
All of it is linked to transit hubs, and with schools, police, fire, and utility access.
And it has *remarkably low* crime, given the neighborhood's income level.

Growing up on military bases is why my fantasy of a better world involves things like community centers, and tool libraries, and municipal kitchens, and dense housing, and walkable neighborhoods, and free mass transit -
Because none of that is abstract for me. It's just "how things were."
