What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Could it possibly be that Washington, for years bashed by politicians, its population shrinking and, at one point, almost bankrupt, has become a model of how the entire nation might smartly develop in the twenty-first century? I never thought I’d see the day. But Christopher Leinberger, one of America’s top real estate analysts and now a Brookings Institution fellow, makes a startling case for it in his just-published book, The Option of Urbanism.” - CHARLOTTE OBSERVER”
