\n Urban beat: Cities Might Not Bounce Back<\/strong><\/p>\n

Major centers such as New York, San Francisco and Seattle \u2014 which have \u201clost a larger percentage of jobs\u201d and seen \u201cwealthy people fleeing\u201d because of the lockdowns and disorder \u2014 can\u2019t be complacent about that \u201cexodus,\u201d advises Bloomberg Opinion\u2019s Noah Smith: \u201cCities don\u2019t always grow.\u201d New York lost population from 1950 to 1980, and many big cities saw \u201cparticularly rapid outflow\u201d in the 1970s. Might it happ<\/a>en again? \u201cProduction, consumption and public goods\u201d in cities were all \u201cunder threat\u201d even pre-pandemic, with \u201cpolitically powerful homeowners\u201d limiting \u201cthe amount of housing and transit that can be built,\u201d leading to higher prices and \u201cdysfunctional transportation systems.\u201d Remote interaction has allowed online services such as Zoom to replace offices and let people connect with others \u201cwithout meeting in physical space.\u201d If cities don\u2019t \u201cshore up their weaknesses\u201d now, they may \u201cfind themselves facing an evaporation of their tax bases.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the left: Why Is Biden Insulting Blacks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats \u201cdrastically\u201d need black voters to win the presidency in \u00adNovember \u2014 but \u201cevery other statement\u201d Joe Biden makes about black people is \u201coutright racist, if you\u2019re being honest,\u201d Benjamin Dixon declares at The Guardian. A Biden victory is \u201cby no means a shoo-in,\u201d and he needs \u201cthe votes of black people who, quite frankly, do not like him.\u201d So why does he keep making statements such as his recent claim Latinos have more \u201cdiverse\u201d attitudes than blacks? He \u201cseems to think a mythical \u2018special relationship\u2019 with the black community allows him to get away with offensive comments\u201d \u2014 but they only make President Trump\u2019s re-election more likely.<\/p>\n

Econ watch: Andrew Cuomo, Supply-Sider?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gov. Cuomo\u2019s response to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s \u201cdemand\u201d for a billionaires\u2019 tax sounded \u201cdownright Republican,\u201d marvels The Wall Street Journal\u2019s William McGurn. Disagreeing with his fellow Democrat, the governor claimed he has \u201cpersonally been begging\u201d the wealthy to \u201cmove back to the city,\u201d even offering to cook for them. He hasn\u2019t really converted to supply-side economics, though: He just knows \u201cNew York revenues would take a big hit if even just a handful\u201d of billionaires left. In fact, the pandemic has \u201cexposed how vulnerable overtaxed states and cities are\u201d when the wealthy reconsider paying \u201cmore for the high value\u201d of living in them. If Cuomo wants to persuade billionaires to stay put, \u201che\u2019ll have to offer them more than a home-cooked dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

History desk: Bernard Bailyn\u2019s Revolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe death of Bernard Bailyn represents the passing of a cohort of scholars,\u201d laments National Review\u2019s Richard Brookhiser, \u201cwho revolutionized the teaching of the American Founding in the 1950s and \u201960s.\u201d They took \u201cthe ideas of the revolutionary generation seriously, overthrowing the previous paradigm of progressive historians who saw American patriots as motivated by their investments and their balance sheets.\u201d The title of Bailyn\u2019s 1968 masterpiece, \u201cThe Ideological Origins of the American Revolution,\u201d \u201csays it all: Men think, and sometimes they follow where their thoughts lead.\u201d He \u201cand his peers kept this quadrant of history safe from the storms of theory that battered the other humanities\u201d in the decades to follow. With their departure, \u201cit looks as if popular interest in the Founding must protect it from the newest wave of leftist disdain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Libertarian: Teacher Unions Protect a Monopoly<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Los Angeles teachers\u2019 union is \u201cexploiting the COVID-19 crisis to prevent competition from charter schools, which are seeing a surge of new applicants,\u201d reports Reason\u2019s Zach Weissmueller. The school district announced \u201cits public schools wouldn\u2019t be reopening for in-person instruction in the fall,\u201d leading \u201cdesperate parents\u201d to reach out to charters. United Teachers Los Angeles, though, wants \u201ca moratorium on all new charter schools and private voucher programs\u201d \u2014 and may get it, thanks to a recent \u201cunion-backed\u201d law. And the California Teachers Association successfully lobbied the state to freeze school budgets recently, preventing charters from receiving additional funding, despite surging enrollment. The silver lining: Families are realizing the district has \u201cno good reason to fund the system\u201d rather than spending on students directly.<\/p>\n
