Yes, It does. I fully support the spreading of wealth to those who need it.
If the alternative is to leave the poor (mainly black/hispanic) city centers to fall into decay, then I say yes, let the triple SUV driving resource hogs in suburbia pay up.

We had school district equitable funding. Prior to that the rich suburban districts had all the money and the poorer city and rural districts lacked adequate funding. Worked well! Every kid should have an equal chance. Now we have mostly state funding which describes what your linked article suggests except it goes beyond schools. Great idea! Otherwise you'll have wealthy enclaves and poor neighborhoods, both moving to the extremes.

Read the comments. One of the biggest proponents of this "left-leaning" regionalism is the current Republican governor of Ohio.

That book seems to sell out in days here.
I've been trying to snag a copy locally for when I go to Egypt at the end of the month.
If it were only the triple SUV resource hogs that would be suffering, but go ahead and blind yourself to the real victims, it'll make it a lot easier to justify.

Why do Republicans hate the cities? It's where 80% of the country lives.

The wonder is how Sam finds time, during her world hopping tours, to to find time to read anything that might disagree with her preconceived notions.
Priorities.

I think you just answered your own question...
