You sound way more up on the issue than I'll ever be. I don't believe a successful economy can be bought. I think most lousy economic situations have folks in those communities that would take an opportunity and run with it if they could.

I don't think it would be easy. I'm pretty sure it's easy under the current admin to pour billions down the drain with, I can't think of any thing to show for it. The middle men, mayors, of these cities will continue to be all that they can be. Someone should try to cut out the middleman.
