Interesting article, and very correct in the assumption that if you want to get a class of people to move to your city you need to find out what they want, and you can't just replicate everything that every other successful city has done. Use the assets you have basically. |

"They like downtown living, public transportation and plenty of entertainment options. They view diversity and tolerance as marks of sophistication." Well we have most of those. |

C'mon now, downtown has a good deal of diversity and tolerance. At least at all the places I frequent. It's really just the public transit missing. |

Public transit missing? Pffft! Just look above you, my friends. How many other cities can claim to have a People Mover?! hahaha Sorry, I almost made it through this post with a straight face. |
