When I walk out, Sean Reardon at Stanford, the leading demographer on education, called it the single best of the top 100 public school systems in America.

Now, it took everything in my soul.

Yeah, so when you say what is the most powerful, and I wrote a book about this, which is called Nation City,

Mayors are where people, or city local government, where people live, work, and play.

It's the government that's closest to how you live your life.

Is there a stop sign on the street?

What are the library's hours?

Is there a charter school, neighborhood school?

What are the schools that people will go to in the area?

What's the type of public safety you have in this area?

I've always said for a neighborhood or a community, there's five public investments that will determine the success of that neighborhood.

Public library, public parks, public transportation, public schools, and public safety.

And if you do those five, a neighborhood could both residentially and retail-wise succeed.

So the mayor or local government has a power that is different now.

At the national level, the chief of staff of what I've done.

The chief of staff to a new president.

When you look at the results, I mean, there's millions of people that have health care today that had pre-existing conditions and never would have had it before.

There's communities with new community healthcare clinics that never had it before that we put a $20 billion into.

Community healthcare is the best preventive healthcare in America.

So there's things you can do that materially, you know, if a parent has a child with pre-existing conditions and you can't get healthcare, that's something that's going to, you know, as I say, there are two things that will happen in your life.
