"By regionalism I'm not suggesting a dispersal strategy, but I am suggesting a comprehensive strategy. We need a strategy that looks at what's going on in the region and that links people of color with opportunities. This can be done through new transportation lines. It can be done by bringing some jobs and businesses to the community itself. But we also have to have the option of having people move to where those opportunities currently exist outside of the inner cities."
