Summary: I am surprised how good this magazine is considering it is out of NYC
Comment: I am a new subscriber to this wonderful magazine. The list of their contributors made me subscribe to them. I am now so happy for doing just that. It's so informative, so provocative and useful. I am surprised by the greatness of this magazine considering it is being published in Leftoid land of NYC. If you like to hear/read fresh stuff about true conservatism and urban issues, this is your magazine. Highly recommended!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Forget the National Review. This is the conservative must-read.
Comment: Do you want an insiders view of the debate over welfare reform? What the left-wing luminaries predicted and what really happened?
Do you want to know how left wing academics reviled Charles Murray, ignored Thomas Sowell, but finally came around as some of "their own" like Sara McLanahan documented the link between the breakdown of the married two-parent family and poverty?
Do you want to know why the Freakonomics theory of abortion and crime is wrong?
Do you want to know why "The Emerging Democratic Majority" and the rise of "cool cities" is not going to happen?
Then subscribe to this magazine now. You can check out many of their articles for free on their website as well.

Summary: A top-flight urban policy and general intellectual journal
Comment: I just read another of the outstanding analyses of the world- political situation, this one in regard to nuclear Iran's danger to the world, by Mark Steyn. 'City Journal' has along with Steyn other outstanding journalists, Theodore Darylmple, Stefan Kanfer.
This is what it says about itself.
"City Journal offers a stimulating mix of hard-headed practicality and cutting-edge theory, with articles on everything from school financing, policing strategy, and welfare policy to urban architecture, family policy, and the latest theorizing emanating from the law schools, the charitable foundations, even the schools of public health. Since urban policy encompasses almost all domestic policy questions, as well as the largest issues of our culture and society, the magazine views its canvas as very broad indeed. The magazine holds itself to the highest intellectual, journalistic, and literary standards, aiming to produce intelligent and absorbing reading for intelligent and discerning readers."
I believe this particular 'advertisement for myself' is accurate.

Summary: Found One of the Best Articles Ever Here
Comment: I read one of the most informative and sadly depressing articles ever in the magazine and I highly recommend it to anyone who seeks the truth which the MSM simply refuses to report on because it doesn't fit their blinkered, left-wing, p.c. worldview. The article was called The Prep School P.C. Plague, by a most erudite and stylistically elegant writer named MacDonald, I believe. I highly recommend it to anyone considering sending a poor hapless child off to a prep school as I was. It's a real eye-opener on the whitey-hating self-loathing that exists among liberals who run these elite schools. Great article and great magazine.
