Freedom is very important for the future of our cities. Freedom for citizens to develop the businesses they need to prosper and to build the housing they need to live in, freedom from federal and state governments that give wealthy suburbanites a tax-break for buying more house than they will ever need while pursuing policies that keep housing prices high for poor city residents.
