RE: Can parks revive decaying U.S. cities?
Lets see, Cleveland's population is down 50%. So where does the
money come from to spruce up the place? People that don't live in
Cleveland.
While lots of parks and green space definitely do make a city more
attractive to someone considering moving there, its only a small part
of the decision. If there aren't already plenty of jobs available, it will
make no difference.
