AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
“When states preempt what cities can do, it denies the fact that cities are individual and not uniform.
Cities need to be nimble and not be
restricted from creating the kind of revenues they need to continue delivering
services,” said Michael Pagano, dean emeritus, University of Illinois at
Chicago College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs and former Brookings Metro
non-resident fellow.
There is no such thing as a magic
bullet that works in every city.
Having worked in the core of Chicago
for two decades, Pagano also noted that commercial occupancy hovers around 70
percent downtown.
That has a huge negative impact on
transit ridership and funding.
