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.

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.

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.

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.

@AnotherUserNamedPaul
I apologize for the confusion my point was this country is so over regulated that we can’t start or expand a business -
Most of what you’re seeing here isn’t just politicians trying to justify their worthless, meaningless existence; they want their “cut.”
-
So the government is so inefficient that it needs to hire a special helper for companies to deal with the other government employees who are blocking both the companies and their own helper.
Talk about a Kafkaesque system. Its completely stupid. -
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS

As a proud Clevelander it has been truly wonderful to see these videos made, good to see Drew Carey still staying loyal to his home town I hope that these ideas actually get some needed attention.

How true. This is why business flee to more business-friendly cities.
