Political Analyst Drexel Heard: “I would love to see a movement where we can work with states to inspire and attract younger folks to move into their states”
I would love to see a movement where we work with states to inspire and attract younger folks to move into their states — and not just the big cities, the smaller cities, too. A gentrification of areas that allows for not just an economic growth, but cultural growth. That’s how change happens. We’ve seen, and are seeing, what happens to a lot of places that either get TOO big to sustain a population, or where there are so few people that change never comes. I love Los Angeles, and I love New York, Raleigh, Atlanta, all the major cities — but in order to see the future we want, we’ve got to really be thinking of the areas that need our support and forward-thinking vision, as well.
