I just wanted to say "hear, hear!" to this. I think the answer to
Gary's first question is "no." The immediate follow-up question is,
how do we create this careful partnership in a time when the city and
inner-ring suburbs are so different in values from the
outer-ring/exurbs, and the state legislature is so riven with faction?
Have a good weekend, everyone!
