What Even Is a Community Board?
Think of your community board as the neighborhood watch, but with less caffeine and more bureaucracy. These groups of local residents are responsible for making recommendations to the city on stuff like land use, parks, public safety, and other neighborhood issues. Basically, they're the people who decide whether that new taco place on the corner is going to get a liquor license or not.
