Attract more business
Model it after Austin, Raleigh, Charleston, LA, San fran, boston and atlanta. boulder

I would commandeer the police force and place more patrols in bad areas.

Change the education system and make more magnet schools and a school like Lusher.

Increase tourism with an amusement park, top golf, museum( pop culture, sports)
a huge go karting track and more parks .

Make a better zoo and an aquarium.

Attract technology businesses, new restaurants, and have a new headquarters here. Popeyes?

Pave under the overpass by George's and Christian street for parking and put lights out there for safety. Try to attack places to eat and more attractions to that area to expand it.

Yeah you can turn a city with the demographics of BR into Austin or San Francisco

Whenever I doubt the stupidity of the human race I can always come to the OT

If i was the governor, this state would be in the top 10. not bottom of the barrel.

We were going to model ourselves after Austin, Texas until we found out Travis County where Austin is made up of a dozen or so ISDs so we can't be like Austin anymore. They say we are better together.

If you want to attract more business the first thing that needs to be done is fix the education system and tackle the infrastructure problem. Until that's taken care of it is really hard to make it attractive for people to want to move there.

was coming to post the exact same thing.

its an interesting case study, but facts are facts. when you have large cities with majority black population, that usually means higher crime, poverty, and run down areas.

Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore, NOLA, Baton Rouge.
