Nice! really good direction. If this good results I hope more places follow suit.

Childcare is outrageous. Daycare for my two kids was more than my mortgage every month. Ive been counting down until they were eligible for public schools

Affordable housing, better working conditions, less working hours, efficient healthcare and better pay. It's not hard goddamn it.
