Letter to the editor: Nobody has said no
You can’t buy social capital, but you can build it. You can’t sell social capital, but you can experience it. Over the past four years, I have conducted an experiment. I have had to make withdrawals on the fund of social capital that is Iowa CIty’s, and I am happy to report that the account balance is positive. I have early onset Parkinson’s disease.

I cannot walk; I am at risk of falling and sustaining a head injury or limb fracture.
