money

And I think the more money you put in people's hands, the more they will spend. And if they don't spend it, they invest it. And investing it is another way of creating jobs. It puts money into mutual funds or other kinds of banks that can go out and make loans, and we need to do that.

We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city.
