Yeah, tons of creative energy here. I know several people in their 20s and 30s who have started businesses in the city who are doing pretty well right now. The energy of entrepreneurs is definitely stronger than all of the political negativity. Most of the political negativity comes from many years of unchecked corruption now having to deal with a class of people moving in who want better. Hopefully its in its death throes. Its an uphill battle, however, when you have city leaders objecting to a state financial takeover by saying things like, "This is white-on-black crime. This is white supremacy. Before you can take over our city, we will burn it."
