Access to a Good Life

Step 1: Define the Fundamental Components of a Good Life

Start by encouraging community-wide discussion sessions, online or offline, about what locals consider fundamental to a good life. This may include things like healthy food, clean water, safe housing, access to healthcare, education, employment opportunities, and so forth.

Step 2: Run an Inclusive Assessment

After defining the key components of a good life, conduct a comprehensive assessment of your community to identify who lacks access to these elements. This assessment should pay particular attention to the vulnerable and marginalized groups, ensuring inclusivity.

Step 3: Develop a Master Plan for Equal Access

With assessments complete, involve stakeholders from all areas of the community, including government agencies, non-profits, businesses, and residents, to create a comprehensive plan aimed at achieving universal access to the components of a good life. This plan should consider economic, social, and — if relevant — physical infrastructure investment.

Step 4: Mobilize Resources

Once a plan is defined, seek funding or other resources required to implement the initiatives outlined in the plan. This may be through local government, community fundraisers, partnerships with local businesses, or grants from larger entities or organizations.

Step 5: Implement, Monitor, and Evaluate

Begin to roll out the initiatives as resources permit, ensuring progress is monitored and evaluated against set benchmarks. Publicize the initiatives so community members can actively participate and provide feedback. Ensure that there is an established process for reviewing feedback and making necessary changes.

2. Device: Quality of Life Sensor
   A wearable tech device that tracks a person's health markers, environmental factors, and access to necessities (like quality of food and water, access to sanitation) in real-time. The data can be automatically analyzed to give the user an overview of their living conditions and give suggestions based on patterns detected.

3. Online Marketplace: Barter and Trade Platform

   Considering housing is a vital component of good life, a range of affordable, durable, and adaptable modular furniture for compact living spaces. This can help ensure everyone has access to decent living conditions, regardless of their income or the size of their dwelling.

6. Protocol: Community Information Exchange Protocol
   A protocol for community information exchange to facilitate sharing of resources, knowledge, and skills within a community. This could be used within an app, website, or physical community bulletin, ensuring helpful information is distributed efficiently. This could include things like free educational resources, community services, food banks, and more.
