Editor鈥檚 note: This is Part 2 of a two-part letter from Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller. Part 1 ran on Sunday. 

In Part 1, I made the case that New Mexico鈥檚 resilience, one of our greatest strengths, also created a scarcity mindset that still shapes our approach to challenges. But understanding how we got here only matters if we know how to move forward.

First, we have to feel safe. Not just statistically safer, but comfortable walking through a park, riding a bus, opening a business or raising a family, and safer for people living on the street. We cannot move from survival to growth and abundance when we are scared.

Public safety is a precursor to any form of abundance. That means confronting addiction and homelessness by continuing to build pathways from the street to shelter, treatment and housing while ensuring our public spaces work for everyone. Compassion and accountability are not opposites.

Second, we have to rethink how government works for people. Many systems our employees work within were built over decades to minimize risk. Layer enough rules together, and simple things become difficult.

A permit takes too long. A public facility or vacant city-owned land sits unused while the community needs space. Residents and businesses spend hours navigating processes that should take minutes.

That frustrates the public and the thousands of city employees who come to work wanting to help people get things done. Our job is to give them better tools, clearer processes and more freedom to solve problems.

Government should make everyday life easier, not harder.

That is why I am dedicating the next three years to the city鈥檚 abundance agenda: restoring the broadest sense of public safety, giving people more choices, putting what government already has to work for you, and making it easier to get things done. This is our answer to the scarcity mindset and my commitment to make city government a force for good in people鈥檚 daily lives.

It starts with giving people more choices. We need more freedom to decide what 鈥渉ome鈥� looks like and more housing of every kind. We are working to remove barriers to building and putting nearly 200 city-held lots to work for housing, small businesses and community uses.

It also means making what we already have available to more people. A family shouldn鈥檛 have to spend thousands of dollars to find a place for a birthday party or quincea帽era when public spaces they helped pay for are available. We are opening more of those spaces because public assets should work for the public.

The same principle applies to childcare. The state made a historic commitment to universal no-cost childcare. Albuquerque can help make that promise real by opening underused city spaces to providers so they can expand and serve more families.

Cost of living is not only rent, groceries and utilities. It is also time lost waiting for permits, filling out forms and navigating unnecessary steps. Entrepreneurs and homeowners shouldn鈥檛 need an expert to navigate City Hall. We want regulatory justice: simpler rules, preapproved plans, faster inspections, and a default that moves from 鈥渨ait鈥� and 鈥渘o鈥� toward 鈥測es.鈥�

Affordability isn鈥檛 only about lowering costs; it is also about helping families earn more. As quantum, fusion, film and other industries grow, we should use tools like community benefit agreements, local hiring and local sourcing to make sure economic growth reaches Albuquerque families.

But making government work for people also means defending Albuquerque when forces beyond our control threaten our community. Whether challenging federal immigration actions that undermine trust or demanding answers about Drug Enforcement Administration practices that allowed fentanyl to flood our streets, I will defend Albuquerque.

At a time when people across America are losing faith that institutions can actually make their lives better, Albuquerque has a chance to prove something different: Government can still work for you.

That鈥檚 our work these next three years 鈥� we will restore the broadest sense of public safety, give people more choices, put our resources to work for you, remove barriers and defend our city. That is our answer to scarcity and how we build a more abundant Albuquerque, where government reduces the friction of daily life and earns back trust.

Tim Keller is the mayor of Albuquerque.
