Beware when newspapers editorialize on ‘good investments.’ It means taxpayers’ money.

The Winston-Salem Journal says a $6.2 million economic incentive from the city and Forsyth County to help Piedmont Triad Research Park renovate a former RJR building is a ‘good investment,’ while next on the N&R’s wish list (after the proposed UNCG School of Pharmacy was spiked by Erskine Bowles) is an architecture school at N.C. A&T.

Just as there were questions about the job market for aspiring pharmacists, turns out aspiring architects are having trouble finding jobs because —–imagine this —- architecture is dependent on flowing capital.
