From the Curb

A note from the Editor


Lake Como has plenty of options when it comes to revitalization.


This month that shows up in one place: resident power.


If we want different outcomes, we need more than opinions. We need residents who can read the process, understand the levers, choose a lane, and act with strategy.


Meet me at the curb,

🧠 Resident Leadership Academy Launch:

Seat at the Table Workshop


Seat at the Table Workshop Graphic May 16, 2026

Saturday, May 16, 2026

10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Como Community Center


Lake Como does not need another room full of opinions.


It needs stronger structure.


KLCB is launching the Resident Leadership Academy with Seat at the Table, a serious working session designed to help residents, emerging leaders, aligned contributors, and neighborhood-minded organizations move from concern to contribution.


This workshop builds from the framework already introduced in KLCB’s blog post, “Lake Como Needs More Than Noise.”


Start there.


The blog post explains why Lake Como needs better tools, better process, and resident power strong enough to outwork the chaos — and why the May 16 workshop is the next step.


Interested? Request a seat.

One Action

🧠 Learn the 6 Power Levers


Neighborhood power is not limited to ownership power.


KLCB’s 6 Power Levers Framework helps residents understand how decisions are shaped through policy, process, narrative, networks, capital, and data.

It gives residents a way to see the full game board — not just react to the move directly in front of them.


This is how concern becomes strategy.

This is how strategy becomes organized participation.

This is how Lake Como builds resident power that can last.
