Ask HN: What would you do if your income was taken care of?
I live in Baltimore. My city just broke 318 homicides. To give you an idea our record is 353. Our police are catching kids as young as 12 with firearms. Kids as young as 14 in brutal armed robberies. If I didn&#x27;t have to worry about income. I would create arcades all over the city. Complete with huge computer labs and tons of video games. My goal is to create a positive environment that kids WANT to be in. They&#x27;d receive help with school and home work, have access to the internet, tons of video games books and movies.<p>I really just want to get the kids off of the street. There are lots of kids here that don&#x27;t have two parents that care if they succeed or not. Teach them things like how to deal with their emotions and things like conflict resolution. When I was a kid I had &quot;play all day&quot; arcades for $5. I can&#x27;t imagine the trouble I would have gotten into if I didn&#x27;t have that arcade or our library wasn&#x27;t accessible. I&#x27;m in a position now where I can either leave the hood and fend for myself and my family. Or I can try and do something to make a difference. I&#x27;ve even considered quitting my job to pursue this. If income was no worry, I would do this.
