1. A method for adjusting a resource within an area utilizing voting by users, the method comprising:
- determining, by one or more computer processors, that a value corresponding to one or more of users requesting to adjust a resource associated with an area meets a threshold value to qualify as a quorum of users, wherein the quorum of users are located within an area affected by the request to adjust the resource, and wherein the quorum of users are determined based on a location associated with the one or more users requesting to adjust the resource;
in response to determining that the quorum of users, located within the area affected by the request to adjust the resource, requests to adjust the resource associated with the area, generating, by one or more computer processors, a voting poll for the resource associated with the area;
communicating, by one or more computer processors, the generated voting poll to a plurality of users within the area affected by the request to adjust the resource;
identifying, by one or more computer processors, valid responses to the communicated voting poll based on a first policy related to the resource associated with the area;
determining, by one or more processors, a response to the voting poll, wherein the response is based at least in part on the first policy related to the resource and aggregated valid responses of the voting poll; and
applying, by one or more computer processors, the determined response to the resource associated with the area.
