Title: Missing the Important stuff
Review: A chronicle of the rise, fall, and rise again of the Bronx heavily focused on the citizens initiatives to fight housing, drug, etc issues; there must have been a hundred of them in intimate detail, almost to the point of boredom. I did not come away with a strong feeling of what the citizens lives were really like - the intimate details of how they lived and why - and I think that the author made little commentary on the effectiveness of the citizen and political solutions focused on versus other alternatives e.g. job growth rather than available safe housing. EASY READING, POOR AS A LEARNING TOOL
