It's our job in government to help them get it. I know Mayor Riordan shares this philosophy. His Targeted Neighborhood and Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiatives are all about listening and working with communities through public private partnerships. And that's very much the heart of our efforts to revitalize New Jersey's cities. Our approach starts by giving people more opportunities for home ownership, helping urban churches continue their great work in serving the people of the community, and investing in the economic and cultural life of our cities.
Cities are our past.
They have the workforce. You don't need to reinvent the wheel, you have a city. But you need to let people know that. You need to focus attention on what cities have to offer. Some of you may know that one of my major goals this year is open space preservation.
