&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ted.com"&gt;www.ted.com&lt;/a&gt; Outside.in's Steven Johnson says the Web is like a city: built by many people, completely controlled by no one, intricately interconnected and yet functioning as many independent parts. While disaster strikes in one place, elsewhere, life goes on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A retrospective of the Tours of Poor Dayton.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for viewing and post your comments at the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ok, here's the reasons once again! First things first, we look at the community as a whole. My community is facing a turmoil! Manufacturing is quickly leaving the area. Population is declining and a national magazine has ranked Dayton, Ohio as well as four other cities in this state as the "fastest dying cities" in the nation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Forbes magazine has written an article stating that economic recession has hit major cities in the "Rust Belt". Many people are fleeing the communities and leaving the city standing on its last leg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://www.forbes.com/business/2008/08/04/economy-ohio-michigan-biz_cx_jz_0805dying.html&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The reasons why I do these "A Tour Of Poor Dayton" videos for both profiles is to give the people a retrospective of why a community like Dayton, Ohio can be affected by an economic recession, the loss of jobs, population, home foreclosure, urban sprawl and crime.  This can affect not only the state of Ohio, but the United States in general. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ohio is a swing state, and no presidential candidate can carry the general election without securing the state of Ohio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are the people who represent Dayton, Ohio. The mayor, your congressmen, your senators, and your governor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The mayor of this city is Rhine McLin, a former state senator and funeral home director. She is a Democrat and super delegate to the Denver Democratic National Convention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The congressmen who represent this area: 
&lt;br /&gt;Mike Turner is a Republican United States congressman from the 3rd District and represents Dayton, Centerville, Wilmington, Springboro Wright Patterson AFB, and Kettering. He was the former mayor of Dayton and a lawyer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;John Boehner is the Minority Leader. The Republican leader is from the 8th District and representative from West Chester. His area includes Dayton, Huber Heights, Riverside, Hamilton, Middletown, Eaton, Greenville, Troy, Wright Patterson AFB, and Tipp City. He was a former businessman. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sherrod Brown is the Democratic United States Class II Senator. He was a former United States congressman from the 13th District. He was a former professor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;George Voinovich is the Republican United States Class I Senator. He was the 65th governor of Ohio and former mayor of the city of Cleveland. He was an auditor, businessman and lawyer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ted Strickland is the current governor of Ohio. He is a Democrat. Strickland was the former United States congressman from the 6th District. He was a psychologist, college professor and pastor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ask them about the situation in Ohio!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/05/21/Daniel_Libeskind_The_Architecture_of_Hope"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Celebrated architect Daniel Libeskind discusses his views of architecture as a spiritual and aesthetic experience, citing the examples of two sites he designed: the rebuilding of New York City's World Trade Center, and San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When we build things - especially beautiful things - we do so with the expectation and the wish that they will last, and through them, we will last.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Daniel Libeskind explores this idea of architecture-as-hope and elaborates on his creative process and the opening of his most recent project, San Francisco's new Contemporary Jewish Museum - The Commonwealth Club of California&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Daniel Libeskind is an American Jewish architect of Berlin's Jewish Museum and San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum.  Libeskind made waves when, in 2003, he won the competition to rebuild the World Trade Center.&lt;/p&gt;

Along the way he managed to revolutionize bus transit, awaken green consciousness in a populace accustomed to litter and blight, and change the way city planners and bureaucrats world-wide conceive what's possible within the tangled structure of the metropolitan landscape.&lt;/p&gt;

Through failed pop-up designs, scribbled out title possibilities, surreal sketchbook pages (think "Piranesi meets Escher"), and rambling story lines, Macaulay details each step of his winding journey towards completion of his illustrated homage to the city.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan sees her city of Gainesville, Florida, as one that needs to build up, not out.  And with Florida's skyrocketing population growth -- the state's population is projected to grow from the current 18 million to 36 million by 2060 -- Florida will soon have to listen to Mayor Hanrahan and grow in more sustainable ways. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"The only hope for doing it [growing sustainably] in any sort of way that doesn't decimate the natural environment is to use our cities more effectively and to build more like a Boston or a Washington or a New York than an Orlando, quite frankly."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She points out that over 730 mayors have signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, showing that cities are on the frontline of climate change in spite of the federal government's refusal to act.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But sustainable cities aren't just good for the environment, says Hanrahan, they're good for the the people that live there.  Quality public schools, comprehensive public transportation, and affordable housing options are vital to urban growth.  However, as we build sustainable cities, we need to make them attractive not just environmentally but attractive culturally as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"I think the role of the city is to make the city such a wonderful place to live with access to wonderful restaurants and parks and sensible transportation alternatives and sublime arts experiences and so on that people really want to be in the city."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you build it, they will come.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the bizarre little right-wing world that's Fox News, they're always promoting the latest conservative buzzword, "sanctuary cities" in this case. Neil runs it up the flag pole but runs into problems when his right-wing guest gets clearly out of control.&lt;/p&gt;
