my city would have:

No battered women's shelter

No three-meals-a-day no-questions-asked hunger program

No free legal clinic for low-income homeowners with property tax issues

No homeless shelter

No effective rent and utility assistance for low-income persons (The secular government program that is supposed to do this has been corrupt since its inception.)

No home for children removed from their parents but not fostered

Significantly fewer food pantries

Significantly fewer neighborhood recreation centers.

Of course society as a whole should step up. But that isn't going to happen.
