The question of how to save the cities has dogged the left since the 1960s.
Cities are in trouble, as even the most optimistic urbanite can see.
Yet, virtually limitless funneling of public money has made no difference. The exodus continues. The lifeblood of any city is its middle and working classes. Unable to afford the private schools that make urban living tolerable for the wealthy, the middle and working classes must be given access to good schools at public expense. The simplest way to achieve this is to allow them to choose their own.
