How Should Obama Tackle Detroit?

Chris Hoene, director of policy research at the National League of Cities, suggest that targeted investments on education, food policy, and job creation should be the Obama administration's approach.

Steven Gray writes, "By targeting dollars in this way to cities across the country, the Obama administration might win over urban critics without being accused of a bailout. Some city advocates, of course, will want more. There's talk that Obama should develop a full-fledged "Detroit Project," enlisting the Administration's urban experts to use Motown as a laboratory for policies that could reinvent American cities."
