People don't always think about things like this, but it can disadvantage certain areas and cause safety concerns, one person says. #como

How can infrastructure be an inequity? What about lack of sidewalks on St. Charles road? Places with bus stops but no shelters?

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

"There's this huge political and racial divide amongst so many members within our community." #como #columbiamo

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

Some talking about the city being divided along racial lines. How/is it different on campus than rest of city?

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

#Battle student says the school can feel disconnected from community b/c it's new. "It is kind of difficult to establish those traditions."

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

One person says debate and dialogue taken more personally in Midwest. "It's almost like we're engaged in a tit for tat. We have to win."

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

From a table discussing #ColumbiaMO's growth: Are people too focused on downtown? What about the north? #tribtalks

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

One #tribtalks participant says #earlychildhoodeducation is key to addressing inequities in #ColumbiaMO

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

We are talking about how to make connections in our city. How do you think people can do this in #CoMO? #tribtalks

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

One person talks about how hard #CoMO can be to navigate when you rely on public transportation. Took her 3 hours once to get somewhere.

[1Community1Columbia @1Community1CoMo]

Some people saying that #ColumbiaMO is divided geographically, economically and racially. Tweet at us and tell us what you see in our city.
