>> are experiencing a significant renaissance. Even major disasters like Buffalo, Detroit and Cleveland are starting to see their urban cores revive. A city like Baltimore is more the exception rather than the rule and speaks to a tradition of corruption and indifferent leadership.

That totally depends on what you call the "urban core". Let me know when Little Haiti in Miami gets better, or South Dallas/Oak Cliff. Or Atlanta and DeKalb county.. OMG Atlanta. Harris County in Texas.

Let me know about Chicago, St Louis, Memphis and New Orleans, or the Iroquois in Louisville. And even small towns like Tulsa and Little Rock are crime-infested places where you can't even safely go grocery shopping anymore.

The success stories, where they occur, are great. But the willingness to overlook the string of abject failures does not bode well for any real turnaround.
