Across the board, everyone states that poverty exist inequalities exist and only spending more money can address these issues. This all flies in the face of the trillions spent by the federal agencies that funded the War on Poverty. Hand wringing won’t change minds. Personal responsibility takes a back seat to some else’s money taking care of your problems. 20 minutes in, I’ve heard nothing new from any of these 4 men.
Land bank is a disgrace actually. The overall idea was well intended but it was hamstrung before it had a chance. To walk or drive through the city neighborhoods and see the number of houses completely falling with children on the same block playing. Those abandoned houses are rat infested and extremely dangerous
We aren’t just finding out that black women and babies do badly in Pittsburgh. It’s been known and discussed for a long time. It’s alarming that anyone who has been in government in Pittsburgh/PA thinks that statistic isn’t known.
Tony Moreno scored a double slam on the black flight issue.
Moreno dominated!

None of them have the ability to effect national spending, just local spending
So happy that Gainey won!!!
Boo
If Gainey had a shred of integrity, he would have had someone else bribe the tenants.
"Keep showing up and killing them" Ridiculous statement by Thompson
Land bank a 7 year waste of time
