If I were mayor of a modest city I would fight to build a local internet system. I'd take it a step further tho.

I'd hire some writers and some actors and some musicians and we'd have a nightly theater show in some community space in the city. I'd find a way to give them artistic freedom so they could be at least as adult as like a late-night show. It would be something that the community could come out and watch, but it would also be broadcast on the local network. There would be a website that would only show on our ISPs.

Obviously this would be very hackable but that wouldn't be the point. The point would be to signal that it was very much for the community.

Adult at night and on Saturdays and Sundays there would be a family friendly version with puppets and stuff.

People need regular things that bring them together.
