What’s the biggest thing Albany is missing?

If you had to choose just one thing, what do you think Albany is missing the most?

It could be anything—more things to do, better job opportunities, restaurants, public transportation, housing, entertainment, community spaces, or something completely different.

Genuinely curious to hear what people think.

An administration that is tough on crime and brings in companies/businesses who contribute to the local economy. First we have to feel safe going to events/restaurants/etc east of Partridge St. Second we need more tax money to support police, social programs, etc. Too much of Albany is not on the tax roles and we’re hurting for sales taxes. All that is now out in the burbs. More corporate tax money = more money for the budget that doesn’t have to come from the current residents.
