I’m stuck! In need of a problem facing communities…?

Okay, folks! I have officially become stuck.

I’m finishing up an online course, and there was a question, that pretty much asked:

Write ONE paragraph about a problem facing your community or state and how you would solve it.

I started to write about drug use, but that just seems too big for one paragraph, you know. I’m in needof something smaller, but I don’t want something trivial, like, “the park is dirty.”

Any ideas?

Thank you!

One that I’m involved with: How can equalize our funding for school construction so we can divide our overly large school districts without adversly impacting the property taxes to build new schools on the side that is experiencing rapid population growth? We need to balance the need for small, locally controlled school districts with equalization of construction funding, control of growth, and decide who should pay how much to effect the split.

Legalize it and decrease sales/increase control

Harshen punishments to discourage users

What about speeding problems?

I know my community has problems with people speeding. You could suggest putting speed bumps and cameras on the road.

You could still use drug use but choose a narrowed group like drug use in teens, drug use in pregnancy, etc.
