Navigating Competing Priorities

In this episode, we dive into the messy realities of participatory budgeting in practice. We'll explore how communities navigate difficult trade-offs and competing needs when deciding how to allocate limited public funds. We'll hear from residents with different backgrounds and priorities - from affordable housing advocates to infrastructure planners to youth programs - as they debate, negotiate, and compromise to reach consensus. Listeners will gain insight into the complex social dynamics and power dynamics that shape these community decision-making processes.
