Chattanooga and Detroit: Opinions on my work

As a writer, it’s always nice when my work inspires thoughtful commentary.

A piece I wrote for NextCity is now being debated in the opinion pages of the Chattanooga Times Free Press. You can read the piece by David Cook here and and by David Martin here.

And an anonymous writer insists jobs will save Detroit, in response to multiple pieces I’ve written about that myth. You can read their thoughts on why I’m wrong here.
