Charles Landry Quotes

All cities have one key resource: the special abilities of the people who live in them. You just have to find out what they are. In the Australian city of Adelaide, for example, which is overshadowed by Sydney and Melbourne, I discovered a number of experts in the penal system. I advised them to work with these special skills.

Some guy makes more money, pretty soon a guy starts making that money, you can't afford to keep him.
