In twenty-first-century America, some cities are flourishing and others are struggling, but they all must contend with deteriorating infrastructure, economic inequality, and unaffordable housing. Cities have limited tools to address these problems, and many must rely on the private market to support the public good.
It wasn't always this way. For almost three decades after World War II, even as national policies promoted suburban sprawl, the federal government underwrote renewal efforts for cities that had suffered during the Great Depression and the war and were now bleeding residents into the suburbs. In Saving America's Cities, the prizewinning historian Lizabeth Cohen follows the career of Edward J. Logue, whose shifting approach to the urban crisis tracked the changing balance between government-funded public programs and private interests that would culminate in the neoliberal rush to privatize efforts to solve entrenched social problems. A Yale-trained lawyer, rival of Robert Moses, and sometime critic of Jane Jacobs, Logue saw renewing cities as an extension of the liberal New Deal. He worked to revive a declining New Haven, became the architect of the "New Boston" of the 1960s, and, later, led New York State's Urban Development Corporation, which built entire new towns, including Roosevelt Island in New York City.
Logue's era of urban renewal has a complicated legacy: Neighborhoods were demolished and residents dislocated, but there were also genuine successes and progressive goals. Saving America's Cities is a dramatic story of heartbreak and destruction but also of human idealism and resourcefulness, opening up possibilities for our own time.

Once the mouse is better, PJ releases him outside-and gets a big surprise about the little mouse, one that changes how he sees the world.

Verbal abuse, emotional abuse by both parents, sexual abuse by older men. I endured it all through my childhood. Loud music, drugs, prostitution, murder, death, deception, witnessing my father's sexual interactions with relatives--that was the life I knew. But I longed for something different. I wanted out. Somewhere deep inside, I knew I didn't belong. Because of that, I suffered hard. The beautiful little girl within me was broken into little pieces, and I felt so alone. I suffered deep within my soul.
Until the light shined on me, brighter than the moment I was born into this life.
Life is like a roller coaster--there are always ups and downs. Sometimes you feel like you are going in circles with no way out. But by looking deep within your soul, you will see you are much more than what others think. You just have to wake up, and become aware of who you really are and what you are meant to do in this world. No one is alone in this journey we call life. All you have to do is call upon God, the source of all love. That is when you will truly understand your divine purpose in life.
