** Economic Democracy Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to our latest Economic Democracy Weekly! Today we feature a story that looks at the intersection of the economy and community building, highlighting the importance of community asset mapping (mapping of strengths) while also asking the critical question, “What is meant by ‘community,’ anyway?” Part of community, of course, is where we live, and on that theme we counterpose two housing articles—one on using zoning to promote housing affordability (rather than exclusion) in Connecticut and one on a rent “innovation” that frees tenants from security deposits, but at a price. Lastly, we offer a short article that profiles two philanthropic approaches that aim to help sustain the local media that helps us make sense of the communities where we live.
