New Jersey has been pouring money into Camden with all the usual boondoggles. Highway beautification, the NJ Aquarium, the Battleship New Jersey museum, an arena, minor league baseball, the works. Hmmm... Big construction involves big unions. Now, who gets a piece of the money from the big unions?
Once you understand that, you understand New Jersey.

Big construction is no cure for a city like Camden. Government-run, top-down fixes are much more likely to fail than succeed.
Cities are organic things. They create their own reason for being, prosper and grow. Sometimes they die.
Take the $2 Billion, give $30,000 to every man woman and child with the stipulation that they must move at least 200 miles away. Raze the rubble. Plant grass.
