• Resumen

  • In this article, the editors present their opinion that the U.S. government policies are biased against cities, which, they argue, is detrimental not merely to the city but to the country at large. According to the author, government spending, legislation, and services prioritize rural and suburban areas. Steps to make policies more fair between city dwellers and non-city dwellers are presented including capping home mortgage tax deductions, raising gas taxes, and reorganizing urban schools.
