A Reader Asks: Are Some Cities Doomed Never to Catch Up?
We get a lot of email. This week, Richard Florida answers one reader's pressing question.
Welcome to the Atlantic Cities Inbox! We're insanely grateful for all the correspondence we get each week, so to say thank you, this month we're kicking off a semi-regular feature where our editors, staff writers or expert contributors answer a reader's urbanism-related question. Have something you've always wanted to know about urban policy, demographics, or trends in your hometown? Send them to theatlanticcities (at) gmail.com. You can also tweet at us at @atlanticcities.
Dear Atlantic Cities,
