Why Does the World's Richest Country Have So Many Failed Cities?

By Carl Schramm

A century ago our nation was famous around the world for creating beautiful cities. Now, we are known for failing cities. In a recent 60 Minutes report, Bob Simon noted that after he left what passes for sparks of new life in downtown, the rest of Detroit reminded him of Mogadishu - "the worst place I've ever been."

I think the mantra of many on the left is, "just get by" and if that doesn't work, lie! President Obama seems to subscribe to this same kind of thinking. He has surrounded himself with people who think, like him, that average, misspeaking (lying), and just getting by (or getting away with it) is excellence. [Who are they?...]
