You end with a good point of getting "new engines going" while "getting all the miles" out of the current engine/system because it's otherwise too costly (on various levels) to try to tear down an established system and build something new back up again. (However much we'd like to do that!) I also appreciate your critical analysis of revitalization (or for me as a social worker, this lends itself a good comparison to rehabilitation of families) because in a lot of ways we maintain the same system that puts people at a "disadvantage" in the first place. Here's to thinking up of new innovative ways that we hope will be less exploitative while doing the most we can with what we have!
