impression that living in a
city is equivalent to resigning
his children to reform school
and placing himself in the
hands Of the big city bosses
may be completely illusory but
it still can be, as the business
review puts it, "a very deadly
bar to the suburbanite's re-
turn" to the city.

Is business abandoning the
big city-and thus helping to
create the vicious circle Of
downtown degeneration, higher
urban taxes to make up for the
abandonment, a resulting fur

more tax increases and on

Item: Executives are much
better citizens in the commu-
mites in which they live than
in the cities in which they
work. The percentage going in
for any sort of political activi-
ties in the cities where they
spend their daytime hours is q
tiny minority. While most
businessmen have an amazing
degree Of distaste for the gov
ernments Of our cities, they do
nothing to improve the situa-
ton. In the words Of the Har-
ward Business Review, "Any
accusation by critics that busi-
ness has abandoned the work
city to the real or imagined
horrors Of poor government is
all too true"
