Take Care of Business: Reason Saves Cleveland With Drew Carey, ep. 4
After World War II, Cleveland was booming, thanks to its leadership role in heavy industry and a business-friendly climate. Today, the citys high taxes and onerous regulatory demands make it nearly impossible for new businesses to set up shop while choking the life out of existing companies. While relatively laissez-faire cities such as Houston are growing even during the current recession, Cleveland remains stuck in a rut. How can city officials make the city a more welcoming place for entrepreneurs to thrive? Reason Saves Cleveland with Drew Carey is written and produced by Paul Feine; camera and editing by Roger Richards and Alex Manning; narrated by Nick Gillespie; music by the Cleveland band Cats on Holiday. This is the fourth of six episodes that will air March 15-19, 2010. Approximately 10 minutes long. Go to reason.tv for iPod, HD, and audio versions of this video.

I grew up in Cleveland and I think it’s a wonderful Nuclear Waste Dump. Take a look at the ‘zoning board members…’ That’s all you need to see to figure out why Cleveland fails and why it will NEVER recover!
@MooseOfReason I think some ideas should be discussed for use in moderation. But this series is so blatantly partisan, good ideas get lost in the noise. Get rid of all zoning laws like Houston or privatizing everything like Chicago did with parking meters - an action the people hated and the city regretted, but of course they left that part out.
Again, we need a balance. Maybe some zoning laws can go and maybe some things can be privatized. But I don’t buy their “get rich quick” ideas verbatim.
@MildlyRelevant So, after watching Reason’s videos (no relation, by the way), do you think the ideas are good or bad?
@MooseOfReason I have no idea and neither do you. I’m not saying don’t put any Libertarians on the council or that their ideas aren’t valid. This video seems to suggest replacing all the Dems and their ideas with Libertarians and their ideas will fix everything.
Dems don’t have all the right answers, nor do Libertarians. Like I said, we need balance. Not just one ideology ruling the masses.
@MildlyRelevant How many libertarians have been on the Cleveland City Council the past 50 years?
@aallppiinnee Join the Tea Party & help change all that
i love how nick keeps appealing to sports futility, people feeling sorry for cleveland’s sports teams ended the day they won the lebron lottery. quit complaining, no one feels sorry for you. the indians also dominated in the 90s.
Both O’Brien and Adler are conservative or libertarian. Everyone they interview that ends up looking like an “expert” turns out to be of the same ideology Reason represents, and they try to make people that aren’t with them look loony.
They have SOME good ideas, but it’d be pointless to replace to Democrat run government in Cleveland with a Libertarian one. You need balance, not just one ideology ruling.
lol i trul u
It is pretty catchy.
Kobe > LeBron
what i that song
i really want that song. what a graet series reason has put together. kinda makes me want to move to cleaveland. once they get rid of the democrats anyways.
we need to study houston a little better. the same old same old here ain’t getting it done.
–thanks Drew –
we dont get “federal money” back, we are getting our own money back
Just vote out the democrats
Get rid of the democrats. Problem solved.
Get rid of the democrats.
Don’t mess with Texas, but don’t be fooled either. The state gets a huge chunk of it’s income from the federal government, as well as stimulus money. Additionally, Texas has one of the highest high school attrition rates in the country. Some 1/3 of students don’t get a diploma. I’ll grant you that we’re in better position economically than most of the country, but the Feds will drag us down with everyone else.
What a little DWEEB that city counselor is.
SLAP SLAP SLAP!!!
Please send Drew and Nick to Rhode Island. Our whole state could use a dose of Reason
In a similar vein to “tsummerlee”: I see these but all I see is Kansas City, Mo.
Thanks, Drew for lending your name; and especially thanks to Reason,TV.
Hope it helps.
I saw an episode of COPS that was filmed in Cleveland circa 1990… It was hilarious. God help them if that place has gone downhill since then.
@jonsaguard Tell me about it.
Haha sim city yeah I know what hes talking about
@aallppiinnee or the drywall is contaminated because they used dirty water to make it
