Cities

I love cities. I visit the fifth ring suburbs because that is where America’s vitality is these days. Cities are where I feel comfortable: diversity, dialog and social skills.

The best expert on cities, a man who has spent his life doing hands-on-research on cities, author of the Book of World City Rankings and Livable Cities Almanac, is retiring as chief economist of New York City and now has a blog.

I highly recommend my friend John Tepper Marlin’s blog: cityeconomist.com
