| Re: Another Carly Fiorina. I'm not a Philly resident, and I completely understand your anger having visited the city a couple of times and been stunned by it in comparison with, say, New York or Detroit or San Francisco, all of which have their own problems, but MY WORD.
But I think what Neff and Philly are trying to do here is to get private/public partnerships going in which the city doesn't put your money at risk and is fostering an increase in business and revenue into the city that would, in turn, make it more likely that other social problems would be solved.
Increasing competition, entrepreneurialism, and equal access to information for all residents (and schools) seems to me to be one tool in an arsenal of making a city more livable.
But I'm not belittling your concerns about snow, school, or stadiums, nor suggesting that cities spend their money in the most sensible of ways or for the most pressing needs. |
