Growing Organics ‘Sin Fronteras’
Eduardo Rivera is a young farmer who is striving to provide organic produce for low-income Latino communities."It is difficult work, and not simply because farming is hard labor. Organics are expensive to grow, and he wants to keep prices low. A community-supported agriculture program helps bring Mr. Rivera’s peppers and tomatillos to market at an affordable rate, but price fluctuations, and weather, provide great challenges."

Police in Public Housing: A View From the N.Y.P.D.
The chief of the New York Police Department’s Housing Bureau argues against ending police patrols in public housing.There is a maximum building size size.
In larger buildings communities do not form or are unstable.
Small buildings clump into neighborhoods.
Again there is a maximum stable size.
A minimum size supports an active street life and a full resident retail group.
Disruption is easy and profitable.
The subject is a doctoral project that is not yet mine.
The police have little place in stable communities and are unable to produce a community.
A city is usually not a community.
