A hot meal is served to anybody who comes, rich or poor; this is a social meal, not a test. You do not need to show a paper or give a name, and nobody will ask you any question.
This is run by local people, not by the city. We are given food by three shops on Green Road, and an assistant from a national company brings one product box each week. Nothing is thrown away: what is left at 19:00 goes to the school breakfast box on Wednesday.
We are not a rich organization. What we have is a kitchen, a list of people who help, and two hours twice a week.
每週二與週五 · 17:30 至 19:00 · 十二月至二月
任何前來的人都可以領到一份熱食，不分貧富；這是一頓共食，不是一場考核。你不需要出示任何文件或留下姓名，也不會有人問你任何問題。
本活動由在地居民舉辦，不是由市政府辦理。綠路上三家店提供食材，一家全國性公司的助理每週送來一箱商品。沒有任何東西被丟棄：19:00 剩下的食物會成為星期三學校的早餐。
我們不是有錢的組織。我們有的是一間廚房、一份幫忙的人的名單，以及每週兩次、每次兩小時的時間。
Dear Mr. Kao,
I am writing about the bench outside the town hall, the one facing the bus stop.
Last month a new bench was put there with a bar across the middle. I understand why: somebody had been sleeping on the old one. But the bar also means that an old woman with a bad back cannot lie down for the ten minutes she needs, and a mother cannot put a sleeping child beside her.
The problem it was built to solve was one person. The problem it has made belongs to everybody who waits there. Could the bar be taken off, and could we talk about the first problem another way?

親愛的高先生：
我想反映社區活動中心外那張面向公車站的長椅。
上個月那裡換了一張新長椅，中間多了一根橫桿。我理解原因：先前有人睡在舊的那張上面。但那根橫桿也意味著，背不好的老太太沒辦法躺下休息她需要的那十分鐘，媽媽也沒辦法把睡著的孩子放在身旁。
它要解決的問題是一個人。它造成的問題屬於在那裡等車的每一個人。可以把橫桿拆掉，然後我們用別的方式談談原來那個問題嗎？

A city knows how many cars pass a corner each hour. It often does not know how many people sleep badly because of the noise.
What gets counted gets money. A road can show a number that rises; a quiet street where neighbors know each other cannot. So the road is built and the street is not protected, and nobody made a bad choice on purpose.
Some cities now count other things: how many children can walk to school alone, how many old people leave the house each day. These numbers are harder to collect and easy to laugh at. A society is bored by slow numbers and pulled toward fast ones, but a city becomes what it measures, and for a hundred years we have measured mostly traffic.
一座城市知道每小時有多少車經過一個轉角。它往往不知道有多少人因為噪音而睡不好。
被計算的東西才拿得到錢。一條路可以呈現一個上升的數字；一條鄰居彼此認識的安靜街道卻不能。於是路被蓋了，街道沒有被保護，而沒有人是故意做出錯誤的選擇。
有些城市現在開始計算別的東西：有多少孩子能自己走路上學、有多少老人每天出門。這些數字比較難蒐集，也容易被嘲笑。社會對緩慢的數字感到無聊，被快速的數字拉著走，但一座城市會變成它所衡量的樣子，而一百年來，我們主要衡量的是車流。
