Thanks Bunk. I wish I could've gone to TEDx... pretty exclusive party.

There was nothing in that presentation that surprised me (confirmation of existing thinking), but I am glad that it is being spelled out. It is better to have a leader that can clearly identify an issue than one that waves arms and continues status quo.

My only issue is that Nenshi merely advocates to overinvest in the poor areas and hope for the best. I understand the limitation of the forum in presenting what the root cause of the isses are, or what his recommended solutions may be, but I wish he would've touched on that more. I also suppose that he wasn't a mayoral candidate at the time of presentation.
