There are a lot of people like Richard Florida and they hold important sway in cities. They have
their mouths in mayors ears and this guy is just one of many people whose opinions and priorities are way out. This respected thinker basically thinks there are winners and losers in society and we should just forget about the urban poor and their environment. His philosophy is shared by many elitists and the mayors they bankroll in America. the fundamentally thing wrong with jackasses like Richard Florida is that they think government should just let certain places fail and be forgotten while everything is invested in the hip places with all the creative people. One of the reasons Cleveland and Detroit are the barren places they are today is because of people like Mr Florida who think certain regions are not worth preserving and improving. This type of attitude of priorities for business people and entrepreneurs over the masses is why places become neglected and people less industrious. These are people who control the systems and markets and gets to decide who gets funding and actually becomes a entrepreneur. Banks have long red lined areas in cities to not even have a chance and when you have guys like this influencing policy makers. This is a guy who couldn't get around a city without a taxi and for him to judge what areas or people are lazy shows what a fuck up he is. His book the great reset also sucks too. Just a bunch of gibberish praising cities that have attracted capital more so than actually bright people who deserve the funding for their tech projects. He never fails the reason of the crash is actually the technology job-killing investments in business. A country will never have prosperity unless all its citizens have a chance to enjoy rewards in growth. people like Richard Florida only want a segment to capitalize on the new global capitalism.
