Clearly it helps the city to better understand its population, and it helps previously unrecognized people with the credentials they need to navigate the system. Very simple idea, but profoundly important. Excellent move, Pete!

I follow Mayor Pete pretty closely and wasn't aware of this. K&R.

I found the topic on reddit, then went searching.

And we need even more of this.....we decent rational sympathetic folks outnumber the far right Crazy Trumpster types and their Neo Nazi compadres.....people lacking any trace of empathy.

... during my university days, and I don't remember there being many foreign immigrants in those days. There were foreign students and professors at Notre Dame U. and Saint Mary's College but they had student visas and college ID. I'm guessing that a lot has changed since the late 60s/early 70s to the point that a Community Resident Card would be necessary to aid immigrants without ID. It's a great solution for residents who need to show ID but cannot prove their citizenship in one way or another.
