"We want to create a relationship that could have tech leaders advising us about where things are moving in the world — how we can continuously improve as a city."

One easy area to target to boost efficiencies and

This challenge is all about identifying a need, solving a problem, and sharing local knowledge so that other cities and citizens can benefit from the insight and actions of their peers.

A record one billion people — one in seven on the planet — traveled to another country last year. So why aren’t more tourists coming to America?

It’s no surprise Americans don’t enjoy sitting in traffic, driving along crumbling roads or stumbling over cracks in sidewalks.

It’s horrifying to me how, as a government, we treat non-US citizens who are legally in this country. It’s also disgusting to me how difficult we make it for people to come into this country and startup businesses, which ironically is the foundation on which much of this country has been built. And now that I had a very direct and minor taste of it, I’m sad that we’ve let things get to this point.
