I have to admit it wouldn't have garnered my interest if the event was more aptly named. Revitalization and urban design issues are what turn my crank moreso than poverty issues (that makes me bad, I realize) and I'm guessing they tried to play up that angle in the advertising. None the less I thoroughly enjoyed it and was impressed with what I saw. It made me believe in people a little bit more.

I had a couple nagging questions, though.

Where are the jobs that all these newly trained people are finding?
and
Do these people stay in the neighbourhood or leave to follow the jobs?

That and there was alot of ugly surface parking around those beautiful buildings.
